My deepest sympathies to Dave's family. I only worked with him for a year but could tell he had a good spirit and kindness about him. He loved his family and always shared the pictures of his beautiful grandchildren. We will miss him a lot.

With kind regrets.

I was taken away when I received the news of Dave's passing. He was always included in my prayers. We've worked together for years and all I can say is "What a wonderful, loving and funny guy Dave was." He would always make me laugh! Many times we would get sidetracked from the work issues and talk about family and boating. We would show off our family pictures. He loved you all so very much. It just chokes me up how much we all will miss him.
I will keep all of you in my prayers during this difficult time.

I had the pleasure of working with Dave for several years at Honda R&D. His candor was always appreciated. I will miss hearing his voice throughout the day when he would get excited about what he was working on. He was very enthusiastic about his job. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May God comfort and console your family and friends as you adjust to life without Dave. He will be greatly missed by many people.

Nancy,Stacy & Becky,
I am so saddened to learn of Daves passing. I can't count the many great times Dave and I shared just shootin the breeze out in the driveway or our fronts yards.

He was a truly special neighbor and friend and I will always treasure the years that I had the honor of living next door to Dave and your family. I know it sounds cliche, but be comforted that Dave is in good hands now and is reaping his reward in the loving hands of god.

If there is anything I can do, please contact me and I'll be there.
