My thoughts and prayers are in Raleigh. Although my family never met Dave they have known him for years. He will always be remembered as one of the Smartest, good-hearted, and respected businessman that I have had the honor of befriending. Dave has been an example used multiple times in the past years to teach my three sons how to act and be productive. He played an enormous positive role in how my life has turned out and I will forever be grateful.
