Dave was my colleague at Connecticut Natural Gas. I am also happy to call him my friend. His dedication to his job and his co-workers was exemplary. I was so pleased to have the opportunity to award him Energy Specialist of the year several time. Rest in peace my friend you deserve it. The Yankee managers will take it from here.

Dave was a kind, patient and encouraging coach when he ran the Summer Track and Field program years ago. We have great memories of those summer nights on the EHHS track! We will remember his dedication to the sport and the youth of East Hartford.
We are so very sorry for loss and will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

As a classmate at East Hartford High, CCSU, and as a guest of the Gold Street gang, I have fond memories of Dave. Dave was a gentle soul with an infectious smile. He was a sincere friend, gifted athlete, and an overall great person to be around. Always quick to see humor in situations and ready to help if you needed it. I am sadden for your loss, but hope you take comfort in knowing Dave's life touched many individuals whom turned out to be better people as a result of it.
