Dear Schumann Family,
I have nothing but fond memories of Dave.
Dave would come and visit my parents in a classic car. He would visit my Dad after my Mom had pasted away and bring him pies which made my Dad and I very happy since it was one of my Dad's favorite desserts. He also, stayed and had long conversations with my Dad to keep him from being lonely.
Dave was always smiling and happy. He was good friends with my brother Rich Ferguson and he worked with my Mom Helen for years.
I will always remember Dave as a great guy.
Rest in Peace Dave and deepest sympathy to Barb and Dave's family.
Sincerely,
Charlotte Ferguson-Aldridge
