Dear Bobbie; I met you once long ago and visited your home in Peters along with John Griffin, and haven't seen Dave for 30 years. However, I was lucky enough to be a good friend of Dave while in high-school and for several years after that. We ran together in Track and Cross Country in High School and spent a lot of time in the little Cessna 172. Dave was one of those popular, talented, smart young people that never let the popularity go to his head. He was humble despite his talents and good nature. He was a great man. I am so sorry for your loss. I've said a prayer for him and will undoubtedly say more. Please leave my condolences to Scott as well. Deepest Regards, Dan Roehm Layton, UT
