    " Although it has been many years since I worked & spent time with Dave, I will never forget his sincere kindness, infectious laugh, and willingness to give a helping hand or ride. He was one of those few exceptional people in life that really make a differnce, make you smile each time you see or think of them, and a person you want to emulate. He will be greatly missed. "
