From Another VW Club member of the past...
This is from Fred Schmidt:
So Sad About Dave
I first met Dave well over two decades ago at a VW Club meeting. We both shared an affinity for cars, specifically VW (at that time). I was struck by his welcoming and warm manner. He was like a big kid, always smiling and with some adventure to share. I remember the great fun we had with the rest of “the gang” at Summit Point. I always learned more about the art of driving FAST whenever I was with Dave. What a good and kind instructor. As a result of Dave being so enamored with the German car culture, it seemed that he moved to Germany to be at the center of it all. Good for him, not so much for us left here in the states. He was happy there and shared news via calls and “care packages”. As time passed I didn’t make as much effort to stay in touch with him, yet I thought about him frequently. What a loss to us all who’s lives he touched.
My sincerest condolences to his family.
Fred Schmidt
