Dear Kay Family,
I just came across Dave's obituary. Dave and I worked together organizing & running the Bridgewater 10K Run many years ago. I ran many hill work outs with Dave and was in wonder how easy he would motor up those mountains while I was barely hanging on. He was a great guy and will always be thought of and missed.

I came across Dave's obituary and am so sorry for your loss. Dave was a volunteer for me when we organized and ran the Bridgewater 10K Run for the recreation department together. We use to run together for miles. To this day I reflect back on running some of those hills with Dave and how easily he would motor up them. He was a great guy and a wonderful man to just hang out with.
Sincerest sympathy,
Rich Romero
