My wife Mary just told me about Dave and I was stunned to hear the news. Our daughter Diana is a friend of Mark Harnish and he told her. I knew Dave from playing golf with him in the “Dufers” on Tuesday evenings a couple years ago. I enjoyed his personality and excellence at golf. I considered Dave a friend even though we were seperated by our ages and send my sincere condolences to his wife, daughter and family. His friendly approach and engaging smile will be missed.
