I was blessed to have Dave as a shooting partner. I will miss his company and counsel. Dave and I discussed various situations and life experiences. He told me if he should not ''make it'' one day that he had had a varied and satisfying life and wasn't worried about it. Dave always gave me his best and I always tried to do the same for him. I'd tell folks, ''If I don't win; I want my partner to win''. Still, he was taken too soon. Rest in Peace, Buddy. Richard

RP,
You and Dave did indeed make A good team. Just cherish the times you shared together. I don't think I ever heard Dave say an unkind word about anyone. I am glad I got to have dinner with him and everyone else at the Ga.mstate SB match. He had a varied and interesting appetite and ate some strange things! :)
We will keep his memory alive everytime we shoot at a match. :x

I'm saddened to hear this. It seems that these type of notices are coming around with frightening frequency. Dave will be missed by many. My condolences to the family.
