My heart goes out to Dave's family. I had a great time working for him and the family back in the 1980's and he was a great boss, and also he was as funny as can be imagined. He was a 'one of a kind' person. God Bless!

Dave gave me so much help as a boater. I always looked forward to talking to him. He had style to go along with his knowledge. His attitude made me laugh and relax every time. I hope for peace and comfort to his family.

David and his family of origin were members of FCCNL however my most memorable moment of Dave was at Burrs Dock where my brother-in-law docked...my Golden dove off the dock to get a ball and then was unable to get back onto solid ground as it was low tide...I had tried but it was me in the dingy the dog in then me out back and forth until Dave came along, retrieved the 50# Golden and got him back on the dock...saved the day and my Golden! Than you again, Dave...rest in peace!
