Dear Sally & Family - I am so very sorry to hear of Dave's passing. He was a GREAT long-time Saddlebrook Pointe neighbor, who helped me a lot when he was on the Board. I will really miss seeing Dave working in his garage and hearing him say, "Hello Susie," whenever I passed by. He was truly one of the good guys...I'll miss him. My prayers are with all of you at this difficult time.
