Dave,
We cannot believe the tragedy that has come to your family in recent days. We are all so sorrowful and full of hope and prayer for all of you. You will be greatly missed here at the business and during an occasional round of golf. I can only imagine you and Anita completing a foursome some place where the cups are two inches wider. We miss you buddy.

Dave,
You brought a smile to my face every day you walked into the cleaners. You always had a joke or something funny to share, the days are not the same without you! There are some people in life that just touch that special place in your heart, you and your lovely wife Nita both touched mine. Together again...but always remembered here on earth......xo.

Dave, you will always be our loud obnoxious Ohio State Fan. We had great times on the golf course and whenever anyone misses a put from five feet everyone yells "thats Pathetic". Miss you Buddie, Anita too!

David, I met you on the golf course, and spent most of my last 13 years with you in our involvement with golf. You were a great competitor, and a true friend. Loved the game and didn't get hung up on the small stuff. Having fun was the most important rule of the game. Mine too. I think I shall never play another game of golf without the words "did I hurt you honey," "ubu," or "pathetic" being spoken. They will surely be etched in my memory of you forever. Thanks for all the good games as well as all of the other great times we had over the years.
