Thoughts
It is a very sad thing to lose Dave. It was just last year when we were talking about living long into retirement. You just never know. We shared a room growing up and I watched him grow as a musician. I used to watch the stars as he played/practiced the scales on guitar at the top of the stairs leading into our room (the warmest part of the house). There was always a harmonizing effect in the sounds that seemed to mesh with the sky. He recently sent me CD's of the old vinyl albums we used to listen to in West Seattle. This was my last contact with him. He was an engineer long before I was and I used to enjoy listening to technical descriptions of his work, that is, when he could talk about it. He was one of the few people that I knew who had interesting Boeing jobs. He definitely was an inspiration for me to get into engineering.
There is so much that goes into one life, as I have said before. The suddenness of his passing is unsettling to us to say the least, and just really sad.
My condolences go out to Linda, Steven, Phillip, and to all of his friends.

I have a lot of great memories of my brother Dave. He gave me my first ride in a convertable MG (being a little kid I was more interested in watching the road through the hole in the floor though). I'll never forget that car. He gave me my first real guitar (a Yamaha 6 string which I still have and play today) and taught me a lot about playing guitar. I still remember him teaching me "Stairway to Heaven"- everyone "had" to learn that song. I remember as a kid going to amusement parks and riding on huge roller coasters when we would visit California. These are just a few things. I will really miss my big brother.
