Dave and I had much in common and worked closely together when he became the St Luke's Fire System Tech. He was a solid rock of integrity and common sense whose loss grieves me like a brother.

I have always had great respect for Dave. He always said what he meant and meant what he said!
Dave was also the most meticulus person I have ever known!
I worked with Dave for many years and I could always rest assured that whatever project he was working on would be done right the first time. Dave we will miss you but you will live on through our memories.
You are a great friend!

Dave and I both served in Da Nang VN at the same time, but in different Marine outfits. I also enjoyed working with him for more than 10 years in building maintenance at St. Luke's. I loved his wit. Dave took with great humor my ribbing him about being such an "old" man. He was exactly 1 day older than me. Thanks for your friendship Dave. You are missed! Blessings and condolences to the family.
