He climbed the corporate ladder retiring as Chairman and CEO of Ameritas Life Insurance Corporation in 2005.

Dave was a man who was loving, smart, caring and so much fun. He had the best sense of humor and "one-liners" for every occasion. Dave had a strong faith in God, he loved his family first and foremost, and was a loyal friend to many.

Dave wasn´t responding to my funny emails. At this point, I do check the obituaries. Today, regrettably, I´m finding that one of the best has arrived home in the comfortable embrace of Almighty God . I will truly miss this man. I looked up to Dave- privileged to know him. John Hannan
