At one time we were always close and our families always came together one way or another. However as we grew older and had our own families we grew apart. Family reunions had gotten very sparse. May you rest in peace coz
I worked with Dave back in the ARC days in Gainesville. He was a great guy and I enjoyed working with him. So sorry to hear of his passing.
