I met David about 17 years ago. We worked together for several years, and our families became very close during that time. It wasn’t uncommon for Jennifer and I to spend weekends hanging out with David and Mary watching a movie, or enjoying the lake (link warning: cheesy music). For years, we vacationed together at Rock Creek in the summer, and Tahoe in the winter. We’ve watched our children grow up together. As far as my boys are concerned, he’s Uncle David.

We’ve had some truly memorable times (who can forget David’s Exploding BBQ Chicken™ dinner!?) In many ways, David and his brood are the only “family” I have. Sadly since we’ve moved apart, we don’t see, or talk as often as we should. I miss them all.

This clip is from David’s past adventures as station manager at TV45 in Lake Havasu. I guess the Internet makes everyone a celebrity.

Happy Birthday, David! See you guys in April?
