His survivors include his mother, brother, sister
in law, nieces and nephews. Dave was a member of
class 69-25/69-23. He was Croc 4 with the 119th
AHC for most of 1970. Dave had spent many years
with the Maine and New Jersey National Guards
retiring as a CW-4 a few years ago. Dave had
written some poetry about our experiences and had
shared one poem at a VHPA reunion some years
ago that was published in a newsletter. His family
has given me permission to share his poems with
the VHPA for you to publish in newsletters or the
directory as you see fit. Those of us who knew
Dave will miss a good friend and a damn good
pilot.
