I knew Dave from work and we got to really know each very well over coffee and breakfast and our many conversations about work but also about life. I looked up to him and was appreciative of the person he was because he always went to bat for me with his work force and that meant alot to me. I will miss him in many ways as he was that kind of guy that one always respected. RIP David condolences to his family

Like Freddy, I remember ping pong with Dave in his basement and wandering over to the Zabec's house from the Schoonover's. As kids, we were so blessed to grow up in a great neighborhood with so many fun and hilarious friends. May Dave rest in peace and my condolences to his family.
