Dave was not my brother but i Always looked up to him as if he was, He taught me how to work on computers and to build them also. He taught me so much, like how to hook up sound systems and He built us one to do private parties and Karaoke for years we did that together. He did so much to help me and was a true friend, Last May i picked up Dr Vo as we called him and showed him my new system, He liked it alot. It was my Daughters wedding in Tulsa, I had moved to Illinois. 10 years ago, I am so glad I got to see the Dr. One more time. I sent him a text a few weeks ago and got nothing back. That is when i figured it out. R.I.P My good friend! I will miss you. If any family would call me I sure would thank you. if not you have my condolences. Paul D. Boner 111 618-823-8435
