I am so sorry to see this. Dave and I had our issues over the years, but I think I had a unique view into who he was. He was certainly driven by his passions. Nothing was going to stop him from making the Touch Guitar a household name. He was brilliant in a way that often goes unrecognized. He was neither hip or cool. He wasn’t one for trappings, it was the essence he was after. And that essence that he had was something quite beautiful. I wish we could have found a way to remain friends. I will always love Dave.
All of here at Roman Guitars wish to express our most sincere condolences. I had several opportunities to meet and speak with Dave over the years and his wealth of knowledge and experience never ceased to impress as did his enthusiasm. We extend our sympathies to the Bunker family.
