I used to ride to work with Dave to the Forge. He would always put a smile on my face. Even when I'd run into him in Tops. I will think of him often. My sympathy to the family.

I cannot find the words to express how I felt about my good friend Dave and I feel the same way about his lovely family. I will surely miss seeing him on my routine stop in Akron at the Palfi house but I know he is still there looking over them.
I will never forget what Dave said to Pastor Darling ( I am ready to go Home). Dave God bless you and my prayers are with your family in there time of need.

June 26, 2008

It was my pleasure to have worked w/ Dave at the forge. He was always in a good mood, a hard worker that took care of his family, and a good friend. He always liked to goof around and enjoy life. And who could forget that moustach??Too bad to see him and so many others pass in their young years May God cmofort you in this difficult time. Sparky

We are going to miss Dave. From his upbeat personality, friendly smile, and general positive outlook on things.

When I go to visit my mom across the street I am sure I will still hear his words echo in my mind as I get out of the car. "Hey Chicken Legs" (his usual greeting for me).

Liz and family cherish the great memories during this difficult time. Kim and I will send positive karma your way.

To Liz, Eric, Shawn, Jamie, Kristy, and the whole Palfi family, we are so very sorry for your loss. Dave was someone who never failed to put a smile on your face, and I will forever remember him as our own Joe Pesci. He's in Heaven now, and finally no longer in pain, and it brings a smile to my face because I know that him and my grandpa (Fran Bell) are catching up over a nice cold one. He is in our hearts and will never be forgotten. You are in our prayers. We love you guys.

For the short time we knew you, Dave and Liz, we loved you. You both were a welcome addition to our church. Greg remembers Dave always talking about food and asking if Greg's wife was making him good food! What a blessing that Dave is now home with our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ! He is healthier now than he has ever been. We love you guys and are praying for you during this difficult time. May God's grace and comfort surround you with peace.
