I met Dave in 1974 through his sister, Judy. He was a typical brother telling us to get out of his room. But one thing that was obvious is his love for his family. As we got older and into High School, you never had to worry about having a dance partner. When most boys were too afraid to ask a girl or even dance, you could always depend on Dave. He loved people! To me, I saw a person who was living every minute. He was so dynamic. He would contribute to any conversation. He loved sports and was a team player. I am so glad I was able to touch base and spend time with him earlier this year. It is a sad day to know he does not walk with us. But there's no way that he will not always be with us. Love you Dave!

What a great fun guy. I met him when I started my real estate career in 1994 when I was at Cayce & Gain. He was always so nice to me and up beat. Working with him was a hoot. The last few years, he joined my martial arts club and lost about 60 lbs working out with the guys. It was fun to see him really enjoy working out with us and the fun he brought. I will miss you David.

David never failed to make me laugh. His stories were unique and so well told that he brought out the best of my comic side. I loved to watch him laugh. He was his own man. I will miss you, Buddy!

This is a loss to so many people in our community. I have worked with and known David for over 20 years.He has always been one of my "most favorite" people. He was a mentor to so many new real estate agents and shared his knowledge, hope and love with so many of us. He will be greatly missed. Our condolences to his family and loved ones.

Although I haven't seen him since 1976, I am so sad to hear about Dave. I had the biggest crush on him in 9th
grade and we went steady
for alot of that year. He was a
great guy. Rest in Peace Dave
