Dave and I were on MAC-V Team #96 in Can Tho, RVN, 1969-70. He and Bill Nuckols were in the 44th VN Ranger Bn; while I was in the 42d. Thought the world of Dave and he and I touched base now and again. We have lost a brave man. More below:

The way I became a Ranger and have earned the small amount of success I have had in life has been mostly due to one quality - determination. Lefty.

Dave will be buried at Arlington National Cemetery on Monday, 13 December 2010 at a private ceremony. I will be there to grieve at the loss of a friend. Ted Nugent's comments are appropriate.
