I enjoyed Dave's company both at work, and at our many lunches we went on together. I know that everyone who met Dave left a better person. He will be missed by many because he was such a good friend to all.

Deann, Thanks for sharing your very special husband with me so that we could bike together for the past several years. David was an inspiration to me & never complained, even when I knew that he didn't feel well. We shared many laughs and I loved him like a brother. He was my biking buddy & I am certain that Jesus had a special bike & trail (without too many hills :-) waiting for him to enjoy. May God bless you and your lovely family. We love you all.

Dave was such a special man to me. When he became my neighbor he quickly became a friend. I had just had my first child and Dave would frequently come check on me and go for walks with us. I missed his kind, gentle, fatherly spirit when I moved 4yrs ago. He was great company and such a kind man that will truly be missed by all that knew him.

I worked with Dave at Sigecom and he was always so nice to anyone that needed help. We missed him when he retired and it was nice to see him when he dropped by from time to time. May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
