To all of Dave's family, We were very sad to hear of his passing. The last time I saw him was at Roma's not too long ago and we had a nice lengthy talk. He was a good man and friend and will be missed by many.

I worked with Dave at Universal for a short time at the start of the surface mount machines. He was a great guy and had a good sense of humor.

Todd, Kerry, Tracy and families, my thoughts and prayers are with you all at this tough time. Your Dad was like a second father to many of Todd's friends like me. We had so many great times hanging out at your house as kids. I remember spending a college summer break sleeping on your basement floor and all Mr. G wanted for rent was a 12 pack a Molsen. RIP Mr. Guilly!
