Richard's Latest Interactions
I was friends with Dave Grana. I learned of his death some years ago and was deeply saddened. He was a lot of fun. We hung out a lot, especially during Senior Year. I remember the lat time I saw him - it was at his house when he showed me his newborn child. Good guy. Really wish he was still around. I always wondered how he died? R.I.P. Dave, you are still missed.
