To Dave's wife and Family,
My sincere condolences on Dave's passing. I had the pleasure of being Dave's boss at Advance Auto in Pleasantville, NJ. His love of life was a breath of fresh air. He could make a bad day seem good, and good day absolutely great. He will be missed.

I met Dave back in the late 60's at Disston school in Phila. He had a lot of energy, and a great sence of humor. Dave loved race cars and told me he was going to build one. A few years latter I went to the shore to see Dave with a few old friends, he took us for a ride in that car he built,fastest car I have ever been in.
We had a great time, Dave had us all laughing. I will always remember Dave and the fun I had being his friend.
