Thank you for being a good person David! I worked for David for 4 years as a young man. He made a lasting impression on me so much so that today I was googling him at 54 years old 20 some years later and found he had passed. He was the best person that happened to be my boss in my life. That might not sound like a bid deal. But it was a very big deal to me, my family and my future. He moved me and my family to Gahanna. He drove me to Chicago and listened to my young problems , he went with me to the UK as we worked on the systems there. He was always a straight sincere and real person and that is exactly what I needed at the time as I was struggling with personal issues. Regrettably, I never had a chance to really thank him. He always talked about Darrin and Todd and Celine. He once brought me to the house before a work trip and showed me some of the stained glass he was working on. In hindsight, Dave mattered a great deal to my life and made an impact. I wanted anyone to know who happens upon this. I didn't have a father in my life and Dave was the first non family to give me the kind of care and support outside of just a job. I wish I had a chance to tell him all this. Celine and Daves family...you certainly did lose something that was rare. I am sorry. Thanks Dave.

Celine and family,
It is heartbreaking to learn of Dave's passing. He was the gentlest, kindest, man and a devoted husband and father. I'm sorry we haven't seen you for awhile, but will remember him as he was the last get-together. Take solace in your beautiful family and many many friends. All our heartfelt sympathy, love, and hugs go with you. Ed and Pat
