We will miss this sweet and thoughtful man. It is so appropriate that the organizations listed for memorial donations direct their activities towards two of the qualities that defined his life kindness and compassion. May his memory inspire such behavior in all of us.

Dave drove for my mother for years and more recently for me...always incredibly dependable, warm, upbeat and a pleasure to deal with even while dealing with his pain. Nothing was too much for him. He will be fondly remembered!

Dave was my driver on numerous occasions over the years. He was always a joy talk with over our many hours of driving. He was such a kind, thoughtful, compassionate man. He was so proud of his wife, his talented chef son, and his extended family. I was overcome with sadness for the loss of this lovely, caring man. My deepest sympathy to his loving family.
