Dear Ilse and Family,

It was my great privilege to get to know Dave well over the past ten years as a fellow architect and, then, client. I cherish the memory of him and his love for his family, friends, colleagues, architecture and the Bound Brook Presbyterian Church. I hope you find comfort in knowing that he was loved and appreciated by many.

I did not know David, except through what my brother Jeff wrote about him - that he was a good man. Unless God has some project for him, may David have rest and peace. May his wife & family find consolation.

I had the honor of serving with Dave on the Session at BBPC. He was extremely dedicated to serving God and our Church. He was a great family man, a brilliant architect, a hard worker, had a great sense of humor and was a good friend.

He did an outstanding job at managing the BBPC roof restoration project. He played a key role in the planning, negotiating the vendor contracts, obtaining the funding and grants, overseeing the execution of the project and problem resolution. The project was delivered on schedule and on budget. We were so lucky to have him working on this project.

There are very few people that loved our Church more than Dave. He was an inspiration to all of us. We are going to miss him dearly. We will keep Ilyse and the Pease family in our thoughts and prayers.
