I met Dave through my dad, (Michael Oplinger,) they grew up together and had reconnected when they found out they lived just a few houses away from each other. Over the years I learned that Dave was a huge fan of The Transformers, well so am I!! He had a bunch of cool transformer collectors memorabilia that he let me see. It was awesome and you could tell it was something he loved to talk about with others who enjoyed it. He’s such a sweet soul and I’m so glad I had the privilege of meeting and knowing him!
