So sorry to hear about Dave's passing. He amused us in Fairbanks, Alaska for quite a few years. He was witty and fun-loving. Many times we have wondered how he was doing, especially after he moved to Costa Rica. Sounds like life treated him well in the years he'd been away from Fairbanks. Dave, you leave fond memories for many. Barb Schneider a/k/a "LIttle Barb."
