I will always remember Dave as the best boss an employee can have. He gave people jobs when there were no job openings. He gave his players work when he needed odd jobs done. Dave always made a point of giving back to those that made him such a success, and was never too busy to listen to your problems. I was lucky to have him as my boss and even luckier to call Dave my friend.
