Don't remember ever seeing Davd when he wasn't smiling, he looked for and found the good in everything and everyone.

I told the story thousands of time over the years about the Jr. Drag Racing league existing because a kid in New Jersey couldn't catch a football.
But when he and his dad invented a sport that he loved and had a talent for. It took off.

How many Champions today might not be there, had it not been for the Jr. League.
RIP my friend, you changed the sport for the better on a scale not many ever have, or will.
