I am saddened by the loss of my friend. We spent so much time together during high school and shared an apartment during college. We shared drivng to classes in my old 55 chevy. One day we heard a knock on the door, and Freddy arrived in a new bright blue Chevy II. Dave was so happy and proud. Another day, he came back from class and said I met the most beautiful girl (Carol) and going to ask her out. I remember the times we would each take $5 and go grocery shopping. I think this helped us learn the value of a dollar.
After college we went our own ways. While living in Columbus, he called and invited me to vacation in his condo in Ft. Myers. That is how I got to Ft. Myers. Each time he came to visit we spent time together, talking about our lives. In fact, we made a pact, that when either of us died, not to worry about attending a funeral. This was because we "gave our flowers and respect" while we were living. Like my other good friend Sam indicated, I could write a book about the times I spent with Dave. Carol knows many of our stories together, and I prey for her and family in this great loss. Allen Frey (bud)
Space would not permit me to share all the memories that Dave and I made over the years. We first met in third grade at Deering Elementary and went all the way through college together. Dave was a special friend and loved what ever sport was in season. I know he loved them because he would have to walk home many nights after practice. It was along dark walk down Rankins Creek at night in all kinds of weather. He and his family have always been so special to me and my family over the years. I will miss you "BUD".

I am deeply sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of sorrow.
Another one of those men who shaped our young lives has left us. They get the name and position of "coach" and "teacher", but their love, personalities, and caring for us kids made them so much more. They gave us skills and knowledge, helped guide us into being men and women, and good people. Coach Waller has always and will always be with us in our memories and hearts, but also in everything we do and all that he helped us become in our lives.
