I've seen Dave around a number of times at different California and Sands tournaments. The thing I remember most about him was how much he really seemed to love the game and the comradery that goes with it.
I will remember him as one of the true ambassadors of the game.
The last time i played our one pocket game together, I won. It was the only time I won. To this, I am donating 1/2 of these winnings to Faith Network. My condolences to Dave's family.
