He and I had an hours long PM conversation on here one night about 69 Trans Ams. He liked those cars too. I knew he was sick, and put off calling ECS to ask him a question that I would have only trusted him to answer. Guess I waited to long. R.I.P. Dave

Along the way beginning many years ago, I was happy to have supplied some of the samples for tags and labels that he reproduced to the utmost accuracy, and as many of you know, there was no way that a phone conversation with him about the most minute detail of a part or restoration process would end in UNDER an hour or more! Deepest condolences to Cindy and children. Bill Rolik

More like a passion for knowing he was right and he was right lots and lots of times even though some (including me) would never admit it to Dave. Still have saved many pm's from discussions "offline" that we had and man he was a good fighter and debater. Truly going to miss him. If he didn't like you or didn't like what you posted then he let you know probably what I most respected about Dave. And man could he push your buttons, you had to know when to seek another thread or topic and just move on. Sorry to see Dave move on to that higher forum, he was someone in this hobby that raised the bar for everyone. MikeR

We became friends after meeting at the Nats during the presentation and discussion of his incredible Challenger. The MoPar and classic car world lost a great enthusiast.

Dave was diagnosed with brain cancer, I knew he was sick for some time, hopefully he made the best of his time he had left after his diagnosis?... he could be quite the card at times, and I admired his "style", he surely was a wealth of knowledge, energy and talent that will be missed
