Dave will always be a best friend to me. As 22 year olds, Dave introduced me to the world of Testing and Balancing. Working together since ‘75 we became the best of friends, boating and fishing whenever we could. Getting together meant reminiscing about our 40 years of friendship, and reliving the same stories over again. Dave would always paint a story of his latest adventure after talking about the old days. Dave’s 2 amazing children and grandson are his true passion and the light of his life. DAVE—You will always live on in our hearts.

My Father was a great, caring, selfless and rare person. I was lucky to have a great childhood and my father is in so many of my memories of that childhood. I do truly try to live by what he taught me though I do fail at times. He had his faults as well but I only wish that I could be as selfless as he was. I am a lucky man to have had Dave as a father and mentor and would wish for no other. I am going to miss the chances of teaching my son River to fish along side my father. I will also miss my father at my son's sports events. He was an active part in my sports as I was growing up and also came to Tessa's soccer games (Mandy's Niece) . He may not be here physically but his spirit will definitely be with us as we do these things with my son. River will be sure to know where the tradition comes from. He will grow up knowing his Pop even though he may not be here. Dad, you will truly be missed but never forgotten. I love you always.

Dave was my former partner, my mentor and my friend. I first met Dave when I was 19, he took the time and patience to teach me about an industry that I have come to love and I will never forget him for that. He was the best in so many ways and anyone who ever met him knows what I mean. He had a heart bigger than anyone I ever met. He will truly be missed. God speed my old friend, I will never forget you.

We were sad to learn of Dave's death. Dave was a good friend and neighbor to us. He came through for us. He had his sorrows but never a harsh word for anyone. He was proud of his sons. We have fond memories of Dave. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Dave's family and friends.
