We´ve lost a good man, a great banker, and a true friend. I was fortunate to have Dave as my mentor early in my career and was privileged to work with him at four banks over a 35 year period. He was always available for good advice, to lend support, and lead with integrity. With a good sense of humor, he always saw the best in tough situations. I will miss him greatly.

David was always there for me and was always so supportive. Though we hadn´t seen each other for a few years I´m so saddened knowing you aren´t here.
