We should all be so lucky as to live our dreams before we leave this life. Reading comments from those who knew him after 1975 paints a picture of a happy man. <BR/><BR/>When he was in the Navy in the 1970's on a sub and bored, he built a stainless steel cooler nearly coffin sized, insulated with leftover insulation from a nuke reactor. He mailed it to me from Italy. I still use it today, over 30 years later. Dave lives on in my memories, as he does in all of yours. <BR/><BR/>A special hello to Ann Marie, his sister. <BR/>Randy R.<BR/>sam7757 @ hotmailAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18899086.post-10189030907320129262007-12-12T13:49:00.000-05:002007-12-12T13:49:00.000-05:00I was Daves neighbor in the industrial park in San...I was Daves neighbor in the industrial park in San marcos. He was a great guy. I always remember when he took a skil saw to the roof of his toyota wagon so he could fit his Husquvarna in it. He called it the "desert commuter" I always told him James Hogue was a liar. We had a lot of laughs together. <BR/> Tom McMellonUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04661169178875283447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18899086.post-60234291694841592222007-11-13T03:23:00.000-05:002007-11-13T03:23:00.000-05:00I worked with Dave at Framesmith in Tempe AZ. arou...I worked with Dave at Framesmith in Tempe AZ. around 1993. Dave was the coolest "boss" I've ever had the pleasure of working with, it never felt like a job. The man was generous with his knowledge of bike building and just about everything else that had to do with engineering. My favorite memory... hanging out at Long Wongs on a hot summer night drinking gin and tonics and listening to Dave entertain a crowd of college students with crazy stories about flyng airplanes. I like the Keith Moon comparison mentioned in an earlier post.

Mine has full Mavic friction gruppo. I was googling Daves name to see what it was worth. Hearing his story has pushed me in the direction of having the bike overhauled and using it on some group rides this summer in Portland OR.

Dura Ace 7401 if anybody would like to see them. I bought the bike off of Jim Cunningham in 3/2007. I used to own a John Howard back in 2004, but sold it because I couldn't afford to restore it. My 101 is beautiful as is. A real blast to ride. philip_w_moore_jr AT hotmail.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18899086.post-21247757899122963312007-04-10T18:19:00.000-04:002007-04-10T18:19:00.000-04:00Hi,I am Dave's sister.

He had a Glioblastoma Multiforme, Type IV. Time from first symptom (2/03) to detection (5/03) to death (11/14/03) was far to short.<BR/><BR/>He was a wild guy, intense, sometimes irritating, but always interesting.<BR/><BR/>Ann Marie SchulzAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18899086.post-5240393675158277152007-01-15T01:28:00.000-05:002007-01-15T01:28:00.000-05:00Having known Dave Tesch as well as anyone in the b...Having known Dave Tesch as well as anyone in the bike manufacturing business in California, I was shocked to hear of his passing. It proves to me that everyday is precious. Just a side note, not to take away from Daves passing, my husband had a ultra sound last March that found an aortic aneurysm at 7.5 cms in diameter, which is at a dangerous size. A stent was inserted and 10 days later he was back to work.

And I remember listening to him, as you say he was always talking. <br />It saddened me to hear of his death, but brings a smile thinking what it was like to be around him.VintageSpinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08730079500876575901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18899086.post-92049065192834637202006-12-14T11:56:00.000-05:002006-12-14T11:56:00.000-05:00As a shop employee in the mid '80s to mid '90s, I ...As a shop employee in the mid '80s to mid '90s, I really admired frames from David Tesch, Almost as much as the ones from Dave Moulton.
