    Dear Family of David Bargo. I am so sorry for the great loss of a wonderful man. I remember when David hung around with my son, Paul Herrmann. He would come to my house on Alden Drive and swim and have lots of fun. He also came to visit me a couple of times after Paul had moved away. My Prayers to each of you for comfort and love.
