Dave was a great guy. He was highly regarded by my father. They started their business in the same era. Dave was always kind to assist with any question I had installing and I know he will be missed. Our regards from LafoeDrapery. Tom and Phil.

Although we have had more interactions over the years with Janie, every time we saw Dave we could feel his kind and loving nature. He always seemed to see the best In situations and had such a sweet smile and sparkle in his eyes. Janie, our hearts and thoughts are with you and we believe Daves love will continue to abide within you.

I met Dave & Janie about 12 years ago. Even though we were in the same business, we were friends. Dave would help me out when I needed an installer. He always laughed when Janie and I would pull some shenanigans. He will be dearly missed. But dont worry Dave, Janie will be fine with her circle of friends. R.I.P.
