Remembering Dave during this holiday season. I think of Dave often, his sense of humor and friendship. He had a big heart and helped others in many ways. Cathy and I send our thoughts and prayers to Merk and the entire Bear family.

Merk, I'm saddened to hear of Dave's passing...please know that neither time nor distance diminished my memories of the lovely years we shared back in the day. Dave's quirky, witty humor ("Beware of Bears gifting Greeks")...some things we never forget.
So it's a fond farewell to a kind, caring, warm soul...and deepest, heartfelt condolences to Merk and the entire Bear family.

Our condolences to Mary and the Bear family for their loss.
Dave was a good friend and we shared a lot of laughs whenever we got together. He loved music and had some great stories about concerts he had been too. He had a passion for life and doing the right thing.
Dave will be missed but I'll think of him everytime I hear a U2 song.

My deepest sympathy and blessings to the family! Dave was a good friend and served part of his apprenticeship under me. He was, like his father, a great individual!
