This is to Dave's family,
We have received word of Dave's passing and would like to express our sympathy to his wife, Linda, and family. I never had met Dave in person, but have enjoyed his input on the Forward Look mailing list and have sold him some parts in the past. My wife and I will pray for the family during this sad time in your lives.
May our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all, for He is the only Comfort at this hour.

Dear Grove Family,
We are very sorry for your loss. We met Dave back in the early 1990's when the engine on our Caravan locked up. Someone referred us to Dave and he was our only mechanic after that. We use to joke about us paying for his kid's college or getting a frequent user discount because we saw him so much. He definintely was a GREAT MAN!! Our prayers are with you as your hearts heal.

We have all lost a truly swell guy, and my sympathy goes to the family. He will be missed by many more folks than any of us, much less he, could have imagined.

I had the pleasure of knowing Dave thru quite a few e-mails discussing AVS Carbs. Dave, from all reports, was an expert on them. In reading some of the tributes to him, it amazes me that he had time for anything else. he was never short in his answers and made generous offers to overhaul my carb. I put it off, but time...

Though I met Dave only one time in person, I knew him well from the various Chrysler car club email groups and forums. Dave was an absolute whiz in everything automotive, and one of the friendliest people around.

He was a classy guy, I wish there were more like him in the world. Dave will be terribly missed around the Turbo Dodge community.

My deepest sympathies to the Grove family.

I was very saddened to hear of Dave's passing. He helped me many times with questions I had about my '59 Plymouth. I remember conversing with him on email one nite at 1 AM in morning about brake problems on my son's Dodge. He happened to be in the shop at that hour. My condolences to his family.

Dave and one of his "cool" cars. Late '60s

Dave was the oldest of six children, I am the youngest. With 12 years between Dave and myself I didn't get the same benifit of seeing Dave as the big brother that my older brothers and sisters did. My fondest memories of Dave growing up was the guy who came home to visit with the COOL cars. I remember riding with Dave once and getting to put a 45 in the record player that he had under the dash, I thought that was about the coolest thing anyone could have in a car. I remember Dave driving fast...
