I miss you every day! I love you Dad

Another year goes by and it seems impossible that we have lived without you. But your presence in my life, my thoughts, my memories, my actions and my heart will remain forever. I miss you so much. All my love forever and always.

Another year goes by and I miss you just as much now as I did then. Life is just not the same without you here. But, I do know you are here with me everyday helping me through life. I love you and miss you Dad.

My Dad was my everything. I miss him so much. I can't believe it's been a year. The loss still feels like it was yesterday . I love you Dad.

Dave was an amazing person and genuinely nice guy. I had the privilege of working with him for years at Griffith Rubber and then at our own company later on.

At Griffith he was a great addition with his engineering background. There were occasional prints that were sometimes very difficult to interpret. Dave could always explain them.

We were lucky enough to get to see him play the guitar. He loved his music and had lots of good stories about the old days. He was passionate...

I had the privilege of working with Dave several years ago, and had ran into him several times at estate and garage sales around town several times since, I was meaning to call him recently about guitars and his ideas, but now it is my loss not doing so.

David's Brother Mike is my stepfather. When my sister and I met David about 25 years ago, he and his family accepted us in and treated us as if we were Mikes own flesh. David was always kind. He was so smart and funny (he also gave the greatest hugs) I am glad I was able to tell him Thank You for being a light in our lives and a wonderful uncle. We miss you and love you.

To the Family

Dave was a great man and I enjoyed working with him at Griffith Rubber Portland, Or and will miss him greatly.

To the Family,
I worked with Dave. When I took over as Quality Coordinator at the Griffith Portland Plant in 2006, I didn't have a lot of experience reading prints. When I had trouble measuring some dimensions, Dave was always happy to work with me and explain to me so that would understand. I think Dave loved to share his knowledge and I appreciated that a lot. Dave also liked talking about his family and his music. I never got to see Dave play guitar; I wish would have. I will...
