Sue, I believe I have met you at one time or another but knew Dave from GeneralNational Lease where he was friends with my then husband Duane Kessinger. Also Dave taught dance and tried to teach me to two-step. I think I was his only dance lesson failure!!! Bless him and you. Janice Titgen

I am very sorry to hear of my friends death. I've known Dave for almost 22 years. We met in 1989 when I went to work for Sanderson Ford and he was a service advisor. He was promoted to service manager, and in my estimation, was a great asset to the company. He never had a harsh word for me or anyone else that he came into contact with! He was certainly a "Point Of Light" that will be greatly missed....Farewell bro....

Susie,
I am so sorry to learn of the Homegoing of your dad. He must have been a wonderful man for you to turn out as sweet, kind, and considerate as you are. My deepest sympathy to you, Kevin, and Justin, as well as the others in your family.

Although I cannot be there in person, I will be with you through my prayers, love, and support. May God wrap His loving arms around you and keep you in His care.
