I didnt know Dave very well, only having ridden horses with him a few times in the Little Rock area. I will definitely miss him though, and will mourn his empty space in this world. We have lost a good man who seemed to me to be short on words but longer on horse sense and humor. Only wish that I had met him earlier.

Friends always, Tom Johnson
