    This is very sad news, two very nice people in such a short time. I was a member of their club in FL. for five years. If you ever needed help these two would be the first to step up.

    Dave helped in other ways two, making custom parts for my RC boats and also parts for my big boat.

    Bill was always there to lend a hand, parts, or advice. He was a talented builder "Boats and Planes" I have bought three boats from him over the years, one of which I just purchased a few weeks ago.

    Condolences to Dave's and Bill's families, they will both be missed very much.

    We shell all meet again on the big pond in the sky.
