Dave was a great person and a determined Scrabble player. He never let me forget when he had the “good fortune” to beat me. He did lots of remodeling at my home in South Lake Tahoe and was gifted and meticulous in his work. I certainly miss him.
Mr. Bartholomew was a good teacher, a little strict but good. I should have paid better attention in his class.
Sorry to hear of his passing.
