Our family is saddened by the news of Dave's passing. We will always cherish our memories of his enthusiasm and dedication in coaching the boys in Riverside Little League, our subsequent moves to Florida at the same time, and our get togethers over the years. Your family has always held a special place in our hearts. Dave made a difference in so many lives by his genuineness, sense of humor and easy-going nature. He will be sorely missed.
