“I was deeply saddened to learn about Dave's passing. Many years ago our families were close friends. We spent much time together enjoying meals, church activities, music, and great conversation. After our children were born, we remained close and shared many wonderful adventures together. Dave was Godfather to our daughter. I hadn't seen Dave in many years but have cherished memories of our times together. My deepest condolences to all of his family. He was a wonderful man.”
