I guess it's always shocking to hear of the death of a classmate. Dave and I were in the same Algebra I class at Sunrise in the 9th grade. He sat in front of me and for the life of me I cannot figure our why he did not intimidate me more than he did. He seemed like a giant to me and teased me pretty well. But I held up under it and we got along quite well. I guess one could tell from his teasing that it was good natured and not malicious. Just like Dave, good natured and friendly.
