I was saddened to learn of Dave's passing. I know the last time I visited him at WCH he was not doing well but had hoped he would improve once he got out of there. I was out of town or I would have come to the visitation. Dave was always very nice to me when I helped out with the testing at BGSU. Hold onto those special memories you have of him.
