Dave was one of my best friends for 19 years. I met him and his cousin Lesley at HVCC where we were all older students going either back to college or entering the first time. He sat behind me in the 20th Century World History class and we competed for grades and formed a friendship over the course of that class. Professor Carman called him "The Philosopher King" and the name stuck. He was a 2%er...a term he had for people who were simply extraordinary. He loved his wife Joyce with his whole heart. He admired her, appreciated her for her humor, and strength. He was so proud of his children and talked of their accomplishments, recognizing each of them for who they were as individuals. I am over here in Okinawa, Japan but Dave was one of the very few people who stayed in touch. On his Friday nights/my Saturday mornings I would make a pot of coffee and we would just chat about nothing and everything. I will miss him in a thousand different ways, his wry sense of humor and wit and just his being. The world has lost a truly good man. My condolences to his son Brian and daughter Melissa. I hope he has reunited with the love of his life at last.

Wow! You really did know Dave! Now several days after his passing, I encouraged his children to celebrate his life like I did at his memorial service. I'm so glad to see you did too. He was a wonderful man!
