My heart felt condolences for the Zehring family. I had the pleasure of working with Dave and Bob at Delco Products. They were stand-out performers in a job well done. Dave was a model of hard work and generous friendship his family can be proud of. Long live his memory of dedication to family, work, neighbors, and friends.
Always in my prayers.
