Seems like just the other day that Dave was teaching myself and others all about Non Destructive testing. I admired Dave and thought he was an excellent teacher. Because of Dave, I completed all of the Non Destructive and Destructive classes along with a Composites class Dave taught later on. RIP Dave, you died too young but God has other plans for you, that I’m certain of.
Growing up on Genesee Hill I think of us kids who “ruled” the Hill. There was Dave, Jim B., Jim R., myself and a few others. Time and age have a way of separating friends over the years but I have fond memories growing up with Dave as youngsters and into our teen and young adult years. Rest In Peace my friend-till we “rule the Hill” again. Jerry
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
I was sorry to hear of the passing of another classmate. I spoke with Dave prior to our last reunion, but apparently wasn’t convincing enough to get him to attend!
To Pam and Tracy, I am sorry for the loss of a brother and uncle. I think of the old girl scout days and always hope my former “girls” are leading happy lives.
Will keep you in my thoughts…sincerely,
Marge Glover Finnie
My deepest sympathy and prayers go out to the family!
Very sorry to hear about Dave passing. Our thoughts and prayers are for his family and,of course, for Dave.
