I met Dave at Techneglas in '91 and had the pleasure of working on various projects and keeping up with him until this last October. He was one of the kindest people I've known. My prayers go out to his family.

I worked with many fine and intelligent people at Techneglas, and Dave was definitely one of them. A very good man. I worked for Dave when he was over the trades groups. Always fair, and good to me.
I was able to stay there after they closed the doors for a while to help out with some electrical items, and my last day on the job I had to turn in my time card and be escorted out of the building with my tool cart. Dave walked me out of the building that day.
I was pretty chocked up, if I'm being honest, but managed to tell him what a good ride it had been and thanked him for being good to me. His was the last face I saw at Techneglas. Couldn't tell you how many times I've thought about that in the last 14 or so years. Best job I've ever had, and I still have a good one.
God Bless Dave, and his entire family.
And, Brad Waybright, you were right up there with Dave also. Best to you too.

David was a great friend as we were growing up in Charleston. His passing saddens me and reinforces the idea that we are all on this earth but a short time. My sincerest condolences to the entire Foley family and friends.

You taught me so many things over our years of working together, some of the most memorable times of my life were spent with you. You will be missed.
David is not gone, he is just away.
