Dear Wendy, Kristin and Jeff,

So sorry to hear about Dave. He was a very good friend to me at a time when I really needed a friend. Wish that I had done more for him.

We had not been in touch for the past year and a half, and I knew nothing of his most recent health problems. I learned of his death almost a week later. He was a real fighter, so I can imagine how it went.

He was a good man and very good friend. My sincere condolences.

To Wendy,Kristin,Jeff and family:David and i had a very close professional and personal relationship for all of the many years we worked at ECC.As Dean of Finance he handled his many duties intelligently and diligently. His capacity for work was almost limitless. David was asked to take on the personnel manager's and other departmental responsibilities until positions were filled. He never said no!His managerial style and sense of humor kept all of us who worked with him at ease.David and i shared a love of sports,and we played softball and golf together.After we left ECC we continued to compete in fantasy baseball&football. He was a tough competitor and always gave his all.My sincere condolences! I will miss him.

I was very sorry to learn of David's passing. While I haven't seen him in the last few years he is remembered from our time working together at ECC. His laconic disposition and constant pipe are forever etched in my memory. My deepest sympathy is offered to his family

Dear Wendy and Jeff,
I was so sorry to hear that Dave had passed away. I have worked with him at GCC for seven years and felt he was a friend as well as a wonderful instructor. We all loved him here in Warsaw and enjoyed his wonderful sense of humor. He will be sadly missed by all of us. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you at this very sad time but I do believe he is now with your mom and in a much better place. I will remember him fondly.
