I have worked with Dave as my project manager in some of my structural projects at FUller Company and FLSmidth. I remember one project in South Carolina that we had occasion to be in the same jobsite. He treated us well especially he knows all the good eatery there. I always like Dave as a coworker and a friend. May you Rest In Peace, Dave.

I've known Dave Matweecha since 1974 when I started working at Fuller Company in Purchasing. I was assigned to work on many projects that Dave served as the Project Manager. He was always a dedicated and competent manager. As time went on, and we went our separate ways, we remained good friends and shared many lunches with our wives. Our discussions were lively and we covered many subjects. I last saw Dave, along with Jo, during the first week of June 2019. Dave was a good and thoughtful friend, I will miss his friendship.

Dave was the project manager on my first travel assignment for Fuller Company. The assignment was to Egypt. When I arrive after midnight to Cairo and was trying to check in to the Nile Hilton as had been arranged, I was told I had no reservation. Tired and frustrated with the clerk, I remembered the card Dave had given me. The business card of the Egyptian general that was associated with Fuller Company business in Egypt.
I pulled this card out of my wallet and snapped it down on the counter, "This man knows I have a reservation, Shall we call him?" the clerk looked at the business card warily, rifled thru a index box and magically found my reservation.
