Throughout the years, I enjoyed working with Dave Alt. He proved to
to be an intelligent, honest and kind person. There are no words that
do justice to the feelings that I had upon learning of his unfortunate demise. I can only hope that he is resting comfortably

Even while Dave was suffering through his own battle with cancer, he offered support to me while my daughter fought her thyroid cancer. I will always remember that. Dave and his family will remain in my prayers.

•What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget.

I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you and your family.
