Dave was a really neat person I first got to know starting at El Roble Junior High. He was outgoing and friendly. In high school our church youth group went on a week's camping trip in the High Sierras. Dave signed up to go with us and he was really an adventurer in the outdoors. It was my first time camping way up in the high country without the convenience of cabins. I remember we took a 7 mile hike about half way through the week and it was amazing and challenging for me. Dave was right at home in those surroundings and so capable and confident. It inspired me. I later asked him to go to a Job's Daughter dance in another town with Paula Giuliano and a date and her family. Dave accepted and helped make it a fun evening. He was the picture of health and strength to me and I was shocked and so sad at his passing. He was certainly missed.
I remember Dave from El Robe. My first year in a California school. Dave rode the same bus I did. Remember him as a big,husky guy. Hearing he die from a heart condition was unreal. I'm into songs and music, that summer was a song called, "Col.Boggie's March" from the movie "Bridge over the River Kwai". Someone added words to the song so it went something like this, "Horace what have you done to me, Horace you've got to marry me, Horace we will call him Morris and there will be Horace and Morris and me." Every time I hear. "Col. Boggie March", I think of Dave.
I dated Dave Morris a few times in high school. I remember when he came to pick me up for the first date, my uncle had a fit because Dave was wearing sandals. I told my uncle that Jesus wore sandals too and no one seemed to mind .
I visited Dave a few times at his home when he was very ill. As everyone knew, Dave professed to be an atheist, but the last time I saw him he said he told me that he hoped there was a God. I was devasted by his death and I still think of him often.

Dave died the summer after we graduated. He was fun, funny, and danced with the lightest of steps. A bit of the light of the world went with him.
