Not sure what to say?

I'll always know Dave as the "Mighty Atom." A classmate and four-year roommate at Bucknell, Dave and I had some fun, as dazed freshmen and then fraternity brothers at Kappa Sigma. Later, he was the best man at my wedding. After a few years of sporadic contact, we drifted apart, taking up residence in different parts of the country, and lost contact altogether.

Very sorry to hear this. Have not seen Dave for many years. We spent some time together in HS; the crew from Blaine St., Dave, Don and Billy.

Dave played for Kiwanis and I played for Item. My condolences to the family, and may he rest in peace. Ernie Brita

Goodbye old friend. I and many more miss you already.

Connie, what a huge loss. Dave was such a dear man and always had a smile on his face, a real good guy.
May you find healing and peace in the weeks ahead. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Connie, Jeff and Ali, I was so sad to hear that Dave passed away. Working with him for so many years and going through cancer at the same time, lead to many conversations about "fighting the fight!" He was a true 'fighter' and friend and will be missed!

Dave was one of my favorite people..... As my hiring manager, he was a mentor to me here at Wells Fargo Advisors. I will especially miss him calling me "kiddo". Rest in Peace, Dave ! We will miss you!
