Dave was a tremendous mentor to me when I worked at Braden winch. He was always eager to talk with me about any project I was working on and give me direction. Aside from being extremely knowledgeable he was kind, soft spoken, and very humble. I think of him often and always ask myself "what would Dave do?" when I have a difficult design problem to solve. I have missed working with him every day for the past 18 years I have been away from Braden. Dave was a great person who impacted everyone's life in a positive way. He will be missed by us all.

I loved Dave. I really admired and enjoyed how he kept things on the lighter side. His intelligence and skills helped us all.
I don't know what I would have done without his support when my dad (Dave's, step dad) died. His help and guidance cleaning out his shop got me through this difficult time.
I and everyone who was around him had a better life because he was in it.
