    Oh my goodness, for some reason I was thinking of Dave this morning, so I googled his name. Dave and I dated for 4 years in college, his mom was the greatest, sad to hear his dad Jay also died. I am so shocked to hear of Dave’s passing and wonder what happened to him. I cannot believe he ended up being a tattoo artist as at that time he was very against tattoos. We argued over me getting one, he won I lost back then. However I do have 4 now! We owned a one eyed cockapoo together named Pumpkin. Dave was into major weight lifting back then and the Roller Hockey. We drove back to Nationals one summer in a Honda car. The first ones they marketed. I have some of the best memories from way back then. If any one knows how I can reconnect with his mom, or meet his son someday that would be nice. RIP Dave, I know you are missed. I have always had a special place in my heart for you.!!!! I am on Facebook under Lark Hamlin Stebbins.

    I will always remember your smiling face as soon as you walked through the doors of your tattoo shop. I will also remember how you made me wait 45 in the middle of one of my tattoos when you had to give 8 piercing to a group of people that walk in your door……………lol, it was worth the wait. You were always a great friend to many and were always there with a welcoming hug. The world is truely a less happier place without you in it. I will always have my garfield as a reminder of you and will miss you man.
