Very sorry to hear of Dave's passing. I worked with him briefly at Star Supply. I would always enjoy running in to him at the coffee bar or stopping by his cube for a few minutes during the day talk to him and joke around. He was always so cheerful and wity and would always bring a smile to my face and brighten my day. Even though I have not seen or spoken to him since I left that job, I have thought about him and our conversations many times over the years. He was a good man and will be dearly missed.

Dearest Judy, Allen, Bonnie and all of the family: I am deeply sorry for the lose of one of the greatest people I know ! No words can comfort you all at a time like this ! I have known Dave for over 40 years, what a guy ! When he told me he was going to marry Judy, I told him he was the luckiest guy on earth and you got the best girl in the neighborhood ! Of course I can go on forever about Herbie, Dorothy and family, but I will not ! Everybody, please be well and stay safe as everyone will be in my thoughts for some time ! All my love, Stuy !

Dave broke the mold when it came to a sense of humor . I was my young 20s when I got into Hvac and if it was not for his patience at the counter there is chance I would not be where I am today . Great person world needs more of him...!!
