Dave and I had a great time together at Blair.  He was thoughful and fun to be with. After graduation we lost touch and he went on to pursue his passion for cars.  We reconnected in 1999 and kept in touch until his passing in August of 2008. 

He was with the Mineral County Sheriff's Office in West Virginia. Also, he was a police firearms instructor.  He loved his job and his involvement with the community.

I miss my dear friend.

The Rolls family and mine went to the same church so I knew him for many years.  I did not

know he had passed away and was sorry to hear it.  RIP old friend.
