Jimmy how could you find this

many shots of Dave without his

stump of a cigar

These were truly great times

My favorite quote of Dave's was

"They're Not Going To Eat Me"

Chic,
I never knew he didn't have a cigar in his mouth. I just figured he put a plastic bag over it to shower.

This part of Florida, with the infusion of Cuban refugees, finally got to the Hoovers. Lois could speak Spanish and make herself understood, but Dave ran out of patience, and they moved to DeLand. Dave said he left a note on his Hialeah door: "The Last American to Leave, Turn Out The Lights."

Dave and Jimmy James, RIP, and we'll jackpot on the Big Lot.
