I was friends with Heidi in high school and spent many days/nights at the Schakel home. May the Lord's blessings be upon your family during this difficult time. You are in my prayers.

I met Dave about 10 years ago when Big Top was next door to Subway. He was always so nice and would bring me a sub when I was there alone and couldn't leave. Always smiling and willing to help when ever we needed anything! I trust he is at peace now and looking over everyone he loves. My thoughts and prayers are with his family as you celebrate his life.

In the few years that I had the pleasure of knowing Dave, he was a great man, a compassionate gentleman, a great businessman, and a good friend.
