Rest In Peace SFC Dave. Prayers sent up.






.

First Sergeant, E-8 when he passed. What a great guy. We had "show and tell" at the Chantilly, VA show every few months.

A prayer for the family, I did not know him but has to be topnotch, Gary

Dam I had been putting off and putting off to call him since Thanksgiving . I was scared I'd call and find out what I just read !

I was only fortunate enough to know him for a couple years but he and I hit it off from the first time we met .

God bless !

He told me the first Fox he ever purchased he got from you . And to the best of my recollection he still had it when he passed .

i did not know this man either...but anybody that loves old doubles has got to be ok in my book....i m sorry for the families loss...and for a fellow soldier i salute you.....charlie

It's always the good guys. May he rest in the peace he deserves.

He was called to report for duty in Heaven by the Commander in Chief of us all.

He did and he told me that it was still his fovourite. I shipped it to his (then) girlfriend in North Carolina along & sent him a copy of Mike McIntosh's book on Fox to his APO. A couple weeks later I received a big box containing several T shirts with his units insignia, a very nice chess set also with the insignia and a Gerber switchblade knife. We corresponded often and when he was back stateside I invited him to the Vintager's Get-Together in Sanford at the Southern. I had not made a hotel reservation and all I could find there were full up. David invited me to spend the night at his home near Camp LeJune. After that we would always meet at the Southern. I will miss him a lot.

Best Regards, George

Yes he had also told me you stayed with him !
He'd been trying to get me to come to the Southern for the last two years but it seemed I always had something in the way :(

The last time David returned from the Orient, he showed me an array of acquisitions, some of which were way more than unusual. The word "scary" comes to mind. We sure loved to show off each other's "stuff".

One of the last times he visited me he showed me a bottle of Habu Saki he had with him to give someone . I'd heard tales about that stuff from others and the pickled baby cobra inside the bottle did nothing to change my thoughts on the stuff 😉

To be honest I'm kinda glad I didn't know him about five years ago ! I got hung up in Narita for 26 hours and if I'd gotten with him there I may not have made it to the Philippines and of course my wife would most certainly not have understood 😉😱😂

I didn't know Dave, but am thankful for his service. Knowing he was a double gun guy, I know we had plenty in common.
RIP, Dave, and God's Speed.
