I deployed and worked with Dave after 9/11. He was a great guy and made a mark on on many people, me included, and he will be missed. We worked in Admin together and had a blast. His sense of humor was what made him standout. He was a fun Cobra pilot to hang around.
He is survived by a wife and young daughter.
It reminds me that this can happen to any of us and look at flying and family with respect and love.
