I was just notified of Dave's passing..Dave and I were the best of friends in high school..I was a senior Dave was a junior..I enlisted in the United States Air Force and was gone for over 4 years..During that time Dave became a standout basketball player at CMU..While I was overseas Dave would keep me updated through newspaper clippings of how he was doing on the courts...Upon my discharge from the military Dave got in touch with me and strongly encourage me to go to college..I graduated from Michigan State and have Dave to thank for his encouragement and support during my college experience..Over the years we lost contact, but the strong good feelings and memories never went away...Dave was one of a kind...Fun, sensitive and above all he cared for others..Dave was a special friend and I am deeply saddened by his loss...
Sincerely,
Jack Olson
