I´m soo sorry to hear of Dave´s passing. I met Dave when Jim & I married. He video tape our wedding. He is like family to me as I´ve known him for about 38 years. Dave was a very sweet, kind, loyal & friendly man whom never met a stranger. He has been a part of the Hathaway Family forever. Him & Greg were like brothers. If you met Dave he was a friend for life. Dave´s laughter was contagious. He will definitely be missed. I will see you again someday my friend! Nicki, may the Lord guide & comfort you, your family, & his friends during this time of need & the days ahead. Sending Love, Hugs & Prayers
