Uncle Dave was always a bright spot in any day he was with you - Always a smile - Always positive. He visited us in our younger years with Mom and Dad in both Kalamazoo Michigan and New York. Then, when Bob and I were married, he visited us in Houston and attended our daughter Lorraine's wedding - He was very pro-family in the most positive way possible. A wonderful uncle!

I spent lots of time working with Uncle Dave at Busy Bee, loved eating his famous Chili, and he had this charisma about him . You just wanted to be near him.
Miss and love you !!
