Dear Barb, Ryan & Allison,

Dave was one of my all-time favorite golf buddies and my favorite Texan. I had the pleasure of working with Dave at Burroughs/Unisys and at Numetrix. He was always fun to work with and even more fun to golf with.

I know that he is looking down and telling you that everything will be OK.

We will all miss him, but we have years of terrific memories to remind us of Dave.

All of our thoughts are with you.

To the Clare family,

I became a colleague and friend of David's while he worked in Sales education at Burroughs. I'll always remember him as "Sugarfoot" because I always thought he looked like the actor who played that role on TV. Please accept my sincere condolences at his passing. David was a true professional with insight and sensitivity. God Bless.

Barbara:

I first came in contact with David when we worked at MatrixOne. We immediately hit it off ... we were cut from the same rug. He was truly professional and well respected. Now that I'm in the recruitment business, he was always someone I had on my contact list and looked forward to speaking to him. I can only hope that between your children, family, friends and faith, that you will find your way through this difficult time. May God bless you and your...

Dear Barbara,

I was so sorry to hear about your loss. I worked with Dave several years ago at Baan Supply Chain Solutions. He was always so full of life and energy and was such a pleasure to be around. I can still picture him in my mind, pacing around the Boeing facility in Corinth, strategizing with me how we were going to close that deal. Dave was smart, funny, and an all around decent man who loved you and your family so much and spoke warmly of you often. Please accept my...

Dear Barbara, Ryan, and Allison: I am so sorry to hear about the loss of David. I know that he was a very special person and loved his family very much. My love and prayers go out to you and to Pat and Keith.

Barbara, Ryan and Allison,
Words cannot express the depth of our sorrow for your loss of Dave. He will always have a special place in our hearts. We will miss his enthusiasm and sense of humor. Among the many things that Dave taught us... life is to be enjoyed every day. Please accept our deepest sympathies.
Love, John, Cindy, Jessica and Mike

I was very sorry to have heard of this most tragic loss. I had the pleasure of working with Dave in Deerfield, IL. in the early 90's. He was a sparkling personality and always fun to be around. He added much to my life and I will miss him.

Barbara - I knew Dave for over 15 years. We worked together in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Your son was just a baby at the time.

Everyone in the office enjoyed working with Dave, respected his knowledge and skill and appreciated his enthusiasm.

I also worked with Dave at Numetrix. It has been a couple of years since I've seen Dave, but I will miss him. You and your family have my deepest sympathies.
