Cheryl and Dan, I am so very sorry for your loss. Dave was truly one of my favorite people. I had the pleasure of hiring him many years ago and although we hadn't worked in the same area in many years, he always sent me a thank you note on his anniversary. We had our own inside joke over these past 16 years so just for him here is one last "dammit Dave", I will miss your gracious spirit! God Bless. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.
