I am already missing my best buddy & dearest friend. The world is a darker place and Heaven a brighter one now that our Lord has called Dave home. RIP my favorite prankster buddy; I know you will be waiting for me with a big smile & an even bigger hug on the other side. Love you lots, Mary Ellis

Dave has been part of my family since my brother John was a boy. They remained friends throughout their lives. I am happy to have spent time with him when he was in Columbus last summer for his 65th high school reunion. We talked our last time in November. He had great stories to tell me about adventures with my brother. My husband went to Aquinas High School with him and bought several cars from him when Dave was here in Columbus. Thanks for the beer you left for me at Planks!! Sincere sympathy to his family.
