R.I.P. Buster.

Serious question.
Is/was there a Dave? Is he still alive?

According to Wikopedia
The first Dave & Buster's was opened in Dallas in 1982 by David Corriveau and James "Buster" Corley.[3] Corley had previously operated a bar called "Buster's" in Little Rock, Arkansas, next door to a saloon and game parlor called "Cash McCool's", owned by Corriveau.[4] After opening Dave & Buster's, the two operated as co-CEOs.[5]
BTW, met my wife there in January '89.

Yes, and yes.
Half right. The correct answer is yes and no, in that order. Dave died in 2015. --Bob

At least he's above his average.
