    My deepest sympathy to Dave’s wife, mother and immediate family. Dave and I were classmates at Easton and spent one year together at Keystone Jr College. I most recently saw him at a car show about a year ago. I’m sorry I was unable to atttend his services and I will remember him in my prayers for eternal rest.
