My most heartfelt condolences to the LaConte family. I had the distinct honor and pleasure of serving with Dave during his tour at SDVT-2. Dave will always be remembered for his Hollywood smile, his infectious positive attitude, his techinical skills as a highly effective operator and mostly to me for his frendship. Dave you'll remain forever in my mind and my prayers. I am deeply sadden by his loss and offer my deepest sympathy to his family. May god keep him close, because in heaven as he was on earth he is like no other, he is one of the best.
