Dave was such an inspiration for me when we attended Calvary Chapel. Every time I open my bible to a particular book and verse I have Pastor Dave's notes which speak to me again. He is such a man of God and well trained by our savior Jesus Christ.

Amen

Dave was there for me when I needed a friend and nobody else would give me the time of day. I'm sure that if he could speak to me now he would tell me "It doesn't get any better than this buddy..."

Pastor Dave was and is on the frontlines in God's Victorious Army, as His soldier, ready willing and able, as the Lord Strengthened Dave. He pulled people in by his transparency, wit, humor, and mostly by his love for our God and His Word. We are challenged to continue and fight the good fight, in this life, until Christ comes or He takes us home.

Pastor Dave will always have a lasting effect on my life. He wasn't a phony and didn't put on airs. To me he was the perfect example of Christian. I could tell without ever having seen him interact with his kids that he loved his kids (and Wife)because he had that sparkle in his eyes that tells you he wasn't just mouthing the words. He was a happy man who took Jesus with him where ever he went. He will be missed and I am glad his family shared him with us. God bless you all. Marilyn B

I feel honored and blessed to have known such an awesome man in this life. I love you dearly, In his precious name, Joniann Goldberg
