I knew Dave when he began plumber for his father. He wanted more responsibility. We discussed how his dad wanted him to learn the entire company. Wow! He certainly did and as a friend I was so proud of him!

It was my honor to be associated with Dave for nearly 30 years. He was a man of integrity, firm in his convictions and compassionate in his actions. An old school man of honor and the world is a lesser place with his passing.
