Living right around the corner from Ashcroft on Bryn Mawr by the Berlin St. Ext., Dave and I were close friends in elementary school. I recall him as an unusually talented cartoonist who had even created his own character called Max Fisher. He had reams and reams of cartoons that seemed highly professional to my young eye. While we lost touch in high school, I will always remember Dave as a kind guy with a winning smile and great sense of humor. I am very sorry for your loss. With love and prayers for all his family and friends.
