I am very sad to learn of (todays date 10-Nov-2016) the passing of my friend Dave. I first came to know him in 1991, at Union Camp Mill Engineering. I soon learned we also had in common, in addition to electrical engineering, model airplanes. We 'hanger talked' more than we flew, but all of it was greatly enjoyed. Dave was just great to be around. I shall remember him, always.

Felicia, I am very sorry to hear of Dave's passing. I'll always remember him under the dark skies at Okie-Tex getting joy from the views in the telescope he built. My prayers go out to you and your family. Clear skies.
