Dorothy & Family,
Our sincere sympathies to the entire family. We are sorry that we didn't make the memorial service for Dave. We were co-workers at the 84" Hot Strip at U.S. Steel. Dave was a very caring and kind person and spoke about his family frequently. It was a privilege knowing & working with him.
May God grant him eternal rest.
