Carol,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time. Dave and I worked together at Northland and I hired him when he became a Field Construction Supervisor. He took the job at a time when having that position was not desirable and I’ve always admired that.

I have had the pleasure of Dave’s friendship for over 10 years or more now. It really hurts to give up a tried and true buddy like Dave, who was actually one of my very oh so special buddies. We have lost a fine upstanding fellow collector and American to the great beyond. My prayers, best wishes and condolences are sincerely extended too Dave’s Family and especially Carol…..
