So sorry for the loss. He made Buicks legitimate race cars in my eyes.

I have a copy of the poster used in Buick dealerships with his car and accomplishments on his championship season. Over my right shoulder now.
May he rest in peaceful peace.
My 70 GS will be fired and driven in his memory tomorrow.

Sheit! Dave was a good friend. I still have the practice tree he loaned me several years ago and said I needed it more than he did. God bless Dave. RIP.

RIP Dave-He was incredibly generous with us local Buick club guys, supplying knowledge and parts when needed. He had a rough time the past few years with medical issues, I will miss him.
