I had the pleasure of working with Dave for several years with both Alltel and Verizon. While managing the Activation Manager team with Alltel, I had the opportunity to work with Dave as his manager and later as his peer. He was very dependable, quick and creative with his work. Our 'go to guy' even when our software vendor was unable to figure out a problem.
Over the years, I was able to hear about his wife, his family, and his daughter's progression through school and teaching and share with him my family updates. Dave will be missed and I pray for peace and healing with the family.

Dad is half of who I am. He is the one I see every day in the mirror.

Thank you, Dad, for being you and you will live in my heart and in my mind forever.
