Not sure what to say?

I worked with Dave at Scott Graphics in South Hadley many years ago. I ran into him at the Home Show one year at the booth for the Triple S Construction Co. and we got to catch up on our lives. He was a wonderful man. He was the Plant Manager an I was a Special Projects Accountant. I did "what if scenarios" for him and others. He was humble, helpful, loyal, strict, confident.

Your work here is complete, you are relieved. Rest in peace. Fair Winds and Following Seas.

A heartfelt thank you for your service. Rest In Peace.

Uncle Dave was one of the kindest people I ever knew. He dearly loved his family and was a man of great faith. He is now with Aunt Marilyn and Susan. He was a great patriarch, the last of the greatest generation on my side of the family.

One of the nicest men Wecever met! Always proud of his family and their many boating adventures in NY. He, Tom and Matt put our two story addition on our home as they were beginning their very successful Triple S Construction business. Remember them carrying me down the stairs during construction when I was in lab or with our fifth son on Veteran´s Day in 1988.

I remember Dave from Bluebird says and how he had so many stories to share about his family and history. He always had a smile on his face and always nice to everyone that crossed his path.
