My deepest sympathy to you and your family. I enjoyed Mr. Ferguson and his great sense of humor and his down to earth outlook on things. He always had a smile on his face, which was enjoyable to see at the clinic. DaVita

Flo, family members and friends, please know Dave touched many lives. Dave was especially influential to me during years of employment together at Bauer Compressors. Dave often offered encouragement, assistance and 'straight talk'. He was a great person. Thoughts and prayers to all.
