I was so sorry to hear about Dave passing. I worked with Dave before he got into the electrical trade. No matter the job, he would always make it fun. He was a hard worker and got the job done. We had a lot of laughs over the years and I really enjoyed working with him. Rest in peace Brother HC.

Marcia,
I remember your dad and your mom being involved with all the activities whether it be cheerleading basketball sports in general at Hobart high school. His wife awaits him in heaven with her arms open wide. To the believer this is the beginning, we’re all sad when we lose somebody that we care about so much, but, now your dad is walking in heaven hand-in-hand with his wife and God! My prayers and thoughts are with your family as you go through this difficult time.

With love
Your friend always
Marty
