I launched many times at ROC with him . I also went to Az 2 or 3 times with him and we had great fun . He also came out to my O motor test . I built a copy of his Basket ball using his plans . At the Jean LDRS Vic and I went and supper with him . We talked with Dave for hours about every thing under the Sun not just Rockets . He was a great friend to Vic and I . On one of our many phone calls he said he loved ROC and all the people out there and I thing we all loved him right back . As K G said fly high Dave.
