Dave I regret not spending more time with you, but I remember Cub Scouts, hanging out with you and the Boy's Jerry Robinson, Fred Tyler, Randy Missamore and many more . You gave me a place to stay when I had none and a Job ! You was gifted playing the guitar and if anyone could make a good thing out of the bad, you was the man that made so many laugh no matter what the situation was ! Oh yea during Basic Training at Fort Ord, Ca. I was so proud when you out did everyone in marksmanship with the M-16 and the Honorable Trophy you won for being the best, hands down ! I'll miss you my adopted Brother, Rest in Peace Brother !
Love you Dave
