I would not be where I am today without Dave and there isn't a moment that goes by in my career that I don't use the great wisdom and tools he bestowed upon me. He was a tremendous businessman, family-man, sports fan, raconteur, and friend. Rest in Peace good sir.

Thank you for giving me a chance 6+ years ago. Your leadership and wisdom have made an unmistakable impression on all that knew you. Even a casual conversation had with you was an opportunity to learn. I will never forget your passion for efficiency and your brilliance and awareness about business and people. You have moved on - but your legacy will carry on. Rest in Peace Dave.
