Tom and I were so sorry to hear of Dave’s passing. We always enjoyed golfing with him when he came to Wellsboro. It was always nice visiting with both of you when you came for Dickens and the sweater party. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Annamarie and family.

I am so sorry to the family I was just talking to him on Wednesday and just like that and he's gone. But never will be forgotten. God bless

Annamarie and Family We are so so sorry and shocked to hear about Dave´s passing. He was such a kind and fun guy who clearly loved his family dearly. May he rest in peace

We are both shocked and saddened to hear of Daves's passing (way too soon) and our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this terrible time. I just cannot express enough what a great guy Dave was; a genuine "salt of the earth" man whom was respectful to everyone, his commitment to good professional standards (in serving his community) were admirable, and second to none. I cannot count the numerous times he helped me out over the years and he will be greatly missed by everybody who knew...
