David's soft spoken and gentle words were just a reflection of the man he was inside. I will always fondly remember my cousin playing horseshoes at family reunions and will cherish the last time we spoke when he, Arleen and Christie came to our home to enjoy a Soup Night family gathering and sing the Hallelujah Chorus together. God blessed me through David.

I worked beside Dave at PS&S for 2 years. There was nothing in this world that he loved more than his family. He was so proud of every thing they did, especially his granddaughter, Cassidy, his "sweet pea".

Dave was the sweetest man you ever want to meet. He was so kind to me and brightened up my day anytime our paths crossed. He will be missed so dearly. Rest with the angels Dave. Until we meet again Tracy xoxoxo
