May God be with Dave's family and friends in this time of need. Dave was a sweet man. I worked for him for 3 1/2 years with Henkels. I always liked when Dave would tell me stories about his past, like when he would have to ride his horse to school, or about that worry stone he had in his pocket, or the boiled eggs he would have to carry in his pockets to keep his hands warm in the winter when he was little. Dave gave my husband and I a chance that no one else ever had. He believed in us. And I thank him so very much for it. Just know he will be sadly missed.
