After Dave moved to Denver (we were in high school) we became very close. At one point we were roommates, and later he was godfather to my son. We had so many good times together, and I was shocked to hear of his passing.
He was my best friend. He was my lover, mentor, advisor traveling buddy. We lived together for many of the 50 plus years we knew each other. I loved him and he loved me. I miss him so much.
