I will always remember Dave fondly! After graduation from AHS, we developed a friendship when we both attended classes at KVCC. He would even come pick me up for class sometimes and I can remember smelling the Polo he would wear when I'd get in the car. :) Jeff, Dave and I would even skip class sometimes and shove Jeff in the back seat of Dave's Honda CRX. It was a great friend back then and I wish I had kept better contact with him...thankfully I still have great memories. Rest well, Skibumb...I miss ya!Jeff Arndt
Everything Sharri said was true. I think I permanetly damaged my spine trying to get out of that little car. Dave was a great guy, never heard him say a bad thing about anyone. He is missed.
