"The measure of life after all, is not its duration, but its donation".... Dave's one of the best people I have ever known! He became a part of each and every one of us who encountered him and we are all better for having known him. Every memory is a happy memory of him and there are so many.....

I enjoyed the limited time I spent with Dave. I believe he's in a better place, with his only pain being that he will be apart from his family, for a time.
