In loving memory of a wonderful person. Dave was the best employers one could have ever worked for. I learned a lot from Dave and I wish I could have learned more from him. He will be greatly missed.

My heart hurt when I heard Dave had passed away. He was a strong influence in my life. He taught me a lot, about people, business and life. I have so many good memories of working at Dave's. Dave was a great man. Please take care Lou Ann.
