Dear Becky and Family: Dave and I were roommates for four years at the Naval Academy. I learned a lot from him and we got along quite well. Although, I bugged him a lot, bragging about the weather in California. Daves family adopted me as they lived in nearby Frederic. After graduation, Dave stayed on the East Coast and I went west. We saw each other at reunions and whenever I was in the East. Over the last 55 years, Ive often thought about the times we spent together at USNA. He was a good friend and I will always miss him. Our condolences, Ray and Jeanie Fazzio
