Michelle,
The passing of Dave leaves me with few words to describe how I feel but many memories of the time that we shared working together. This picture could not be more perfect to reflect how anyone that ever met him would remember him. That grin from ear to ear was ever present and represents the happiness that he shared with everyone he came in contact with. Those eyes convey the "Fun" Dave that people always wanted to be around. His conversation was always focused around "the girls" and he would always share how proud he was of his family and their many accomplishments. As I write this filled with sorrow, I see his picture and hear his laugh that fills me with joy. May God grant you peace, comfort, and understanding in the days ahead. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

What a tragedy, Dave will certainly be missed. He will always be remembered fondly by me for his wonderful spirit and very welcoming nature. Dave made doing business so easy and it was always relationship first, business second. My most sincere condolences to all of his family,
Rest in peace Dave.
Sincerely
