Not sure what to say?

Want to thank the Mehney family for how my life was blessed by them while employed in SKYTRON Surgical Equipment Sales for nearly 30 years. Such a kind, loving family to work with and Fruits of the Spirit showed in all business dealings and businesses established by David P. Mehney and his son, Dave, Jr. Can't thank you enough for the work life you provided for me and my family. God bless your family as you serve Him with gladness !

Truly a wonderful boss, leader and friend. He probably did more for his employees and cared about their futures than any person I have ever been associated with. God speed Dave.

Three weeks ago I called Dave´s phone and found that the phone was no longer in service. Sadly, I learned of his passing and have lost a dear long distant friend. We would talk randomly during the years and Dave would be my EGR information contact. We both were so proud to be an EGR Pioneer. Through the years, Dave certainly gave his heart and soul to the community. He will be missed.

I just wanted to say how sorry I am to hear of David's passing. The Mehney family was very nice to me at a time in my life where things were not that good. His dad bought my house and I paid him the monthly payment until I sold it and moved to Arizona. I worked for his dad for several years while he was an opthalmologist. The boys probably won't remember me, but I send my deepest sympathies to his family.

There are few people in this world who truly make a difference in the lives of others. Dave, along with Linda, were two of those people. Dave and Linda´s legacy lives on not only through their actions and generosity, but also through their family. Deepest sympathy....but, great memories!

So sorry. I loved officiating Dave's football games. He was so passionate. Also his support of GVSU was immeasurable.

Dave Mehney was a passionate man with a big smile who loved his community.
