Dave was a great friend from work. Him and I played handball together and would give each other crap on a daily basis. He was an amazing man. Always talked about his children and grand children. Super amazing person.

Through the years " Hey Good Times!"was the greeting we would say when we saw each other. It was always worth a smile and a laugh. You will be sadly missed.
Your friend golfin Steve.
