What can I say, Dave was a great person. He not only helped me in my career but also in life. He made me a better person and I will forever miss him. His tremendous sense of humor, his competitive spirit and his unwavering professionalism only tell part of the story. He was just great to be around. A master storyteller, jokester and all around good guy. Goodbye my friend.
