In memory of a great father, husband and personal mentor. As the first supervisor of my banking career, he taught me skills that I still use today. So very sorry to hear of his passing. Rest in peace my friend.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. Dave and I worked together for many years at the Harris Bank. We played on the same softball team (The Dancing Bears) in the Harris Bank League. We enjoyed golfing together at the annual bank golf outing. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.
