Whenever Dave was around, you knew he loved living each day; he was a blessing! His passing was sudden, unexpected, and his laughter and smile will be missed greatly.
Yet my soul, it will shall exalt the Lord;it shall be elated in His salvation.

Diane and family, so sorry to hear of Dave's passing! I'm glad I was able to spend some time with him at Joe's Graduation party a few weeks ago! We were able to share a few good laughs during that visit. Dave had a great sense of humor and could always count on him for a good laugh! I appreciate your family always attending and supporting my families life events! My prayers are with you during this difficult time!

A son, a grandson, a nephew, a cousin, a brother, a friend, a teammate, a husband, an in-law, a father, an uncle, an engineer, an entrepreneur, a grandpa... Not a single word can describe exactly what you were dad, however if I had to choose one it would be Teacher. I love you dad. I will miss your wisdom, afterall wisdom is not a product of schooling, but a lifelong attempt to acquire it.
Your Loving Son,
Phil
