Dave was truly a gentleman, and a decent human being.
During a two-day photo shoot for our books, Dave not only opened every
drawer and cabinet we wanted to investigate, but schlepped machines
shoulder-to-shoulder with us. We turned his beautiful home and barn
upside-down, but
he never lost his good cheer. (Well, after an hour or two of Fabrizio's
singing, he exclaimed, "Mother of God!" Who could blame him?) After we put
everything back in order, Dave and Nina took us out for a wonderful dinner -
and I'm
sure he had seen enough of us that day!
I sincerely regret Dave's passing, but I'm thankful for having known
him. God bless him.
