Mr. Hill was a true gentleman and someone you could trust. They do not make them like that any more. He was one in a million. God Bless him.

Dave was a true gentlemen. He set up my retirement pension when I worked for the City of Norwalk and I can not say enough nice things about him. How I wish there were more people in the world as honest as Dave.

Sorry to hear about Dave's passing. i worked with him many times on Habitat homes as a project manager with Habitat for Humanity. And then Dave followed me to the ReStore where he would often show up on Saturdays after a days work on the construction site.

I met Dave in 1992 while he was working for Equitable Home Office! Then he came on board to the advisor side and I've worked with him ever since. It has been an honor! He's home now with Gisele!
