Dave and I were friends from High School and onward through our lives. He was the Best Man at my wedding and we stayed in touch through the years as I moved around the East Coast...I will miss his wit and pithy comments on our life and times

Mary,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this time of sorrow.
You are a wonderful, caring person. I always enjoyed working with you.
I also know that you are a strong individual and your family will rely on that special trait as they and you begin this journey on the path of grieving for the loss of a loved one.

Dave "Butch" Kik was a high school buddy as we were growing up in Lyndon. I will remember him for his quiet intelligence and droll wit; he would cut through our conversations with occasional insightful gems that would leave us rolling. A good American and a good guy. Rest in peace, Butch.
