I am heartbroken for all of Dave’s loved ones. Dave was one of the sweetest, kindest, wittiest men I’ve ever met. Every interaction with him was such a pleasure. I’m sorry we never hiked Monadnock together. I’ll think of you Dave next time. We on Earth lost a one of the best one and Heaven gained an Angel. May Dave rest in God’s eternal love and peace.

David was such an incredible person. Always giving, always thinking of the other person, always funny, always kind. He was the best dad. so loving and caring. You could spend hours with Dave and wanted more. Thank you for the memories and lessons in life. It’s hard to say your name without a big smile coming across my face and a warm feeling in my heart. You will be missed, but you live deep within. My deepest heart felt sympathies to all of us and especially Michelle who he loved so...

Dave T was a pleasure to work with over the past 20+ years. His ability is unmatched globally, #1 in my honest words. Dave's witty sense of humor always had me in stitches :). Will always remember Dave T forever......

What can I say about my friend Dave?
Never met someone so pleasant, so self-based, and so genuine as Dave. I never think of him without smiling; every interaction was either engaging or embracing. It’s been a long time since I worked with Dave, but my memory is strong, clear, and kind. Expressing my condolences to his unexpected passing and praying for the grieving that will come. Blessings to all.
