Earlier this year a light that shone so brightly, for so long and for so many people went out. How could it? The guy was indestructible, wasn't he?
Turned out that, after all, he was just another human being. But what a huge, unique, larger than life character that drew people to him like a magnet.
His life revolved around his family and motorcycles -- to which he had a total and lifelong commitment and encyclopedic knowledge.
So, here's to the good times, Dave
To the rides, rallies, the Island (maybe not the crashes!)
To the many funny, improbable, impossible stories that those of us who were there know weren't!
Grown men don't have hero's, do they?
Well,, here's to someone I'm proud to call a friend and hero,
Dave Dan.
As everyone knew him
