Joanne, I am saddened to hear of Dave's death. We had many fine conversations over the years. I remember going to Chris's wedding reception, and how incredibly proud of "his girls, and granddaughters" he was. I will be unable to get to the visitation, as my wife of 41 years is in a nursing home with early onset dementia. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.
Love & hugs,
Jim Reich

What started as a customer back in 2013, developed in to a friendship between me and Dave. He visited me frequently at work and I was lucky enough to go on a memorable road trip with him a few years ago. I have been blessed to know him for 6 years. He was a wonderful man, and I will miss him dearly.
