Dave and I were friends for years. He was my neighbor, my fellow student, and a long distance runner . we would meet on Sunday mornings and run a 20 mile run together. Dave also built a home for my wife Debby and I in New Haven. Time has kept us apart but I will always remeber Dave as a good family man and a good person

So sorry for your loss. Dave was one of the top builders I had the pleasure of meeting over the years. Always felt you could have him build your home while away and have comfort in knowing no corners would be cut. Dave was always so kind and just a great guy. He will be missed by all..
