Dave Leaves Double Header

Dave is gone.

For the past almost-eleven-years he was the bartender at the Double Header, a Pioneer Square bar I've been visiting since the early 80s.

Dave is gone, and I'm sad.

We both started work the same month -- May of 1994. We reminded each other of this fact every time we saw each other.

Dave was a good guy -- kept the house in order, saw to his customer's needs, brought a blue collar Boston style take-no-guff attitude to what can be a rough location.

God bless you Dave.
