It's 7:00 a.m so why are my eyes tearing up? Because memories sometimes cause that reaction, no matter whether they are good or not so good. In Dave's case, they are good memories. Tim has joined Dave, and I hope they enjoy each other's company as they always did.

Still miss his wonderful sense of humor and think about him frequently when I'm driving past Jimmy Martin's, which is now Austin's. Things change.

Our heartfelt sympathy to the Wagner family. We didn't know Dave for very long, but we knew him long enough to appreciate his wonderful sense of humor and ability to make light of his own misfortunes. Just a great guy to be around. He'll be missed by many, including his friends at Martin's.
