I only got the pleasure of being Daves friend for the past 5 years but it saddens me to hear of his passing. He was a very caring and compassionate soul that always had a great story to tell and I can still hear his laughter if I remember back. My sympathies to your family in this time of loss. Heaven has gained another Angel to look over all of us. God Bless.
