Still always think about Dave when I know I need service to my soft water and Osmosis equipment. He and my husband Leon ( who has also passed since, Oct 2020) would carry on with conversation while he worked on our equipment. Thanks Dave for your fine work ethics and friendly chatter with Leon.

So sorry to hear of David's passing, ( or Dave) as we knew him. He serviced our Reverse Osmosis Equipment and our Soft Water Tank for many years. He was an honest and gracious service person and very easy to talk to. He left this world much too soon. Leon and Evelyn Ufers
