I always found David to be fun,honest and a great guy to be around. He loved his family and his dentistry.I shall miss talking to him on the phone as we did so often lately. You had a great Dad, and we will all miss him.

Dave was one of a kind. I remember him from the band. He knew how to make you laugh. We always had fun when he was there. Dave also was my children's first denist and until this day they are not afraid to go. For that I am greatful. Rest in peace Dave you will be missed.

Dave was one heck of a guy, A big teddy bear that would do anything for you. Although things in life weren't always in Dave's favor, I think he touched all who knew him in a loving way. His love always showed by the smile on his face whenever he spoke of his children. God Bless
