I am sorry for your lost. I worked with your father at the Hudson Tractor Supply. Dave,taught me alot. He was always there if I had a question. He will be missed. I have cancer and while I was living there we talked at work about how he was doing. He was a friend I will miss.

The Bult family: Dave's passing is a loss to us all. He touched many lives and made a difference. He was my confidant and sounding board after my wife passed away 16 mos. ago. He was the only one who truly understood what I was going thru because he went thru the same thing when his dear wife, Nancy passed away. I looked forward to our talks every Friday nite at the VI over a couple of beers. It was a honor to be his friend. God bless the Bult family.

To the Bult family,
My brother and I had Dave for many years as a bus driver. He always looked out for us, but let us have fun. I remember he would always have the radio on. My prayers are with you at this time.

To Dave's Family,

I was very surprised to hear of Dave's passing. I saw him just a couple of years ago at the Schodack Landing Firehouse. He was my bus driver for a long time and was a very caring person. Even when he didn't see a kid at the bus stop he would still stop and wait for them, just in case they were running late. He saved me from missing the bus many times. Thanks Dave! My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Keep strong and know he is in a better place. He will be missed~

Jeff and Adam,
I am sorry to hear of the loss of your Dad. We shared a room a SUNY Cobleskill and had a lot of good times together. I remember several trips to the stockcar races at Fonda. I also remember him showing sheep at the Altamont Fair when you were just toddlers.
