Sending my prayers and sympathies to all who knew Dave. Many of us have fond memories of him, I remember him especially as the Pastor of Otranto church and how generous and caring of a person he was. I was fortunate to be able to attend the funeral and thought it went wonderfully. I especially liked the slideshow of pictures. God be with you in these hard times.

Great Scout for a short time, and great guy all his life. I "m glad he can be in a better place, but sorry he had to leave so soon.
