Rest in Peace Dave.  I grew up in the same neighborhood as Dave - great memories.  I knew his Mom and Dad very well also.  A loving, wonderful family.  He will be missed by those whose lives he touched.

Gonna miss Dave very much. Knew him all thru McKinley and Wash, and had some great times playing in a band with him. Had some extensive emails with him regarding his USAF days, and it turned out we were both stationed at Offutt AFB at the same time, but didn't know it. Another sad day as we remember another old friend gone but not forgotten.

Dave had so much light within him. Just receiving one of his "knowing smiles" as we passed each other in the hallways, brought me joy, and always cheered me up. What a wonderful person, and he gave so much service to others. I will always treasure him, and I loved our conversations. Thank you for your life Dave!
