John Ricketson wrote a sympathy message

“I am sorry to hear of Dave's passing. I got to see him very infrequently because I live in South Georgia, but enjoyed the times we did get to see each other. Although we had been competitors for many years, it was always cheerful and friendly, with nary a problem between us. I will be praying for his family in this difficult time.”
