Not sure what to say?

Annamarie, was so shocked to hear of Dave’s sudden loss of life.Sometimes it’s hard to understand why God takes the Good people away from us. No matter when Dave and I would pass each other on our our way to our daily grind of our respective businesses, we would always stop to chit- chat about Golf or whatever. And on most Sunday’s at Southmore with the “ Sunday Bunch” Group we would talk on the putting green before we went out to play the game we both loved!He will be greatly missed by all...

Annamarie I would like to express my sincere condolences to you and your family. I am so very sorry to have heard of Dave’s passing. He was a great guy and always had a smile to offer. My thoughts and prayers remain with you during this difficult time.

Annamarie and Dave, thinking of you, and send ongoing prayers today and each day forward my friend.

I was both shocked and saddened when I heard of Dave´s passing. Whenever he came by Sure Fix we would enjoy some laughs. I know he loved his wife and son deeply. A really genuine guy. My thoughts are with his family during this sad time.

I didn’t know Dave for that long, however he was in my golf 4 some at Southmoore. I was suppose to play with him on Sunday.
I was truly shocked when I heard of his passing. Like many of us, my condolences go out to his family and Friends. He was a genuine good guy. RIP my friend. May GOD bless you and your family!
