Our family will greatly miss our Uncle Dave's sense of humor, great baseball moments in history, and funny stories of travels with Aunt Jeanne and the kids. He always had a ready smile and a genuine interest in everything going on around! All our thoughts, prayers and love go out to Aunt Jeanne, our cousins and their families.

Dave, were one of the reasons why I love to cover high school sports. You brought passion to the job. Above that, you were a class act. You will remain in my heart forever.

Dave, you were a great mentor and a true advocate for high school sports in Santa Clara County. Athletic programs throughout the area are indebted to you for your years of service and respect. I'll miss you, Dave. My best to Marc and the rest of your family.
