Not sure what to say?

It’s been 9 long years since Dave was taken too soon from us. I have had the pleasure and honor to work for many of Dave’s customers he provided electrical service to while with Preferred Electric. To this day, I still am witness to his flawless workmanship and the pride he took in everything he worked on. I enjoy meeting the people of whose lives Dave touched and still share stories of the warm, friendly guy that brought happiness and a positive outlook not only to work everyday, but into...

Often think about Dave. Miss him. Miss Ellen, too. Pepper Tree pool has never been the same.

We met Dave at the pool. We had many fun moments with Ellie and Dave, laughing and joking around. Dave was a great guy. He was super friendly and always willing to help. He will be missed.

Ellen, We are so sorry to hear of Dave's passing. Thinking of you and his family, keeping you in our prayers.

It is times like this that will make you realize the value of life and a longtime friendship one that i had with Dave.We not only grew up two blocks away from each other but also went to high school as well both a grad of "75".

Years ago, The Reader's Digest used to have a regular article every month called "The Most Unforgettable Character I Ever Met" David fit that to a T for me. I only knew him for a little over 25 years, but that wasn't nearly long enough. He would come to my pool in the summertime, and man-o-man did the parties get started. Nobody liked to laugh and have a good time like him. Parades downtown for the 4th of July were so much better with Dave there. I used to hang out with some of the guys after...

Kevin, Ryan, El,.... You are amazing people whom Dave cherished and loved more than anything...

There are so many memories and stories worth sharing to describe the kind of person Dave was. The list is endless... We will keep him with us not only on the job by sharing those experiences but in our hearts as well. He was and will continue to be an inspiration to me as an Electrician, a Father, and a Friend.
Rest in peace Dave, you will be missed...

"Perhaps strength doesn't reside in never having been broken, but in the courage it takes to grow strong in the broken places". I'm so sorry for your sadness.

Roberta and Peggy, please accept our deepest condolences. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this difficult time.
