Dave was a gentleman, a fellow State Farm member, golf buddy and car enthusiast but, most importantly, a very good friend. I always treasured the times Carol and I visited Dave and Cindy and the time they spent at our home. We played many, many rounds of golf and always had a great time. I will miss him and remember him for all my days.

Dave I'm going to miss you. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to be your caregiver, it was great experience & I will cherish the memories we shared, til we meet again.

Dave was a wonderful man. He was smart, personable and extremely likable. We played many rounds of golf together, and he worked very hard to suppress his laughter as he collected my money each time we competed. To the best of my memory, I never beat him a single time. After golf, we usually went to his house and drank a few beers while listening to Patsy Cline music. Dave loved country music, and he loved Patsy Cline songs most of all. I will always cherish the many good times that we had...

Shared a valued friendship with Dave for almost 40 years, both professionally and personally. His work ethic was exceptional and we had the great opportunity to discuss many important issues, and his input was always instrumental in serving the company. On the golf course, we both struggled for perfection, and every golf trip provided good competition and lots of fun. Will miss our weekly phone conversations, but your memory will live on! Ron Brown
