Jim Poling [meeko92@alltel.net] We only knew Dave for a short time, but he will be missed. From The Poling's in LaGrange, Ohio Susan Cole I knew Dave briefly thru a singles group he had going circa 2004-2005. I went to a barbecue at his house once. Then I left for Alaska. What surprised me is that he kept in touch with me and a lot of other singles with his cute funny emails. I enjoyed receiving them, so I was a little shocked to see of his passing. I believe he's in a better place, and I'm wishing you some blessings up in heaven, Dave! God bless you! Susan
