So it's been a while since I posted in this thread ( before he was found )

Guess I was just trying to avoid that Dave was gone for good.

I wasn't a close friend of his by any means but I did meet him once in the Mid 2000's as I was a guest of a friend of his in Las Vegas
my first thought of Dave was he didn't like many people because he was a little standoffish at our little get together

Most of us was discussing games and when he talked about them, he didn't have any emotion.
I thought maybe he didn't like that i was there among these seasoned handicappers, so I just stayed quiet.

Out of the blue, he says to me, Who do you like ?

I said that I wasn't a handicapper and only gambled. He said, so you just pick the games out the Air ?

We had a good conversation that day. I learned a lot of little things from him.
two things that I will never forget, one, read as much information on a Team and game as you can, and two, never believe everything you hear.

Dave, you will surely be missed . Sorry I never got to know you better

RIP
