Dave was such a beautiful soul. He prayed for me when I was ill and I prayed for him when he was. I will miss him at our Chi Alpha meetings at ACC, where we discussed the Bible. He was a very religious guy and it was very evident in the way he lived. I will miss him
and pray for the people he left behind. We will see him again, no doubt.
