My condolences to the family and friends of David. It's been a pleasure to deal with Dave for almost 30 years. First as a customer, then as a friend. He was loyal and helpful, I'm going to miss him, he was truly a good guy. RIP Dave...

My earliest memory of Dave is when he and I would race each other, he in his Alpine and I in my MG, to Vo-Tech once or twice a week. That's where we met and became friends and made some nice memories. Like a lot of people - life moved us on and we lost touch but the fun part was when we would meet up every very so rarely - we just picked up right where we left off. I am ashamed of myself for not following through on the thousands of times I have thought about him over the years and never got in touch - "I'll call him tomorrow". Truly My loss. He will be missed. My condolences and prayers to his loved ones.

I am really saddened to hear about Daves passing. He was my first business partner at age 14 and I knew him since we were 5 years old. I will really miss him! Marc Brutten

I am so sad to learn of Daves passing. I've known Dave all my life. We grew up together on the same street. He was a kind, funny, hard working guy. Knowing him has been a rewarding experience. He knew how to enjoy life and share great times with friends and family. He was like a brother to me. I'll never forget you Dave. God bless you and your loved ones.
