Dave was a good amateur radio friend of mine for over 40 years. I chatted with him just a couple of months ago on the air and for several months, we had a regular schedule on the 75 meter band. In Fall, 1977, Dave, myself, and a couple of other ham operators took a multi day backpacking hike on the Appalachian Trail in the Smokey Mountains, and it was a very memorable time. We hiked about 50 miles. Dave was the last of the original old timers from the original Delta Amateur Radio Club in Memphis, where I first met him in 1970.Like Dave, I belong to the United Methodist Church, and we always had a lot in common. He was a good and dear old friend and I shall miss him. Bill Anderson, WB4TJH. I am a retired WHBQ-TV photographer and reporter, now living in SW Missouri.
