There is so much that I can say about Dave in the short period that I have known and worked beside him at Sennheiser. Boy could he really talk your ear off! Just kidding. He was such smart and thoughtful person. He had the most captivating smile and his laugh, as raspy as it was, will be always remembered. I would always give him first pick when I brought treats. I always thought that he liked them until there was a drawer discovered when he retired that had collecting some of them...Haha. I also want to thank you for allowing me to decorate your desk for the holidays and was overwhelmed with joy with you helped me decorated the Christmas tree for us. You will be deeply missed my friend Dave. Rest in paradise.

Dave was a pleasure to work with. I could always count on him for support. He was quiet, but sharp witted with a sense of humor.
