I have some excellent memories hanging out with you Dave. It was especially fun playing in the Phoxx Band with you. My favorite song you sang was "The Power of Love" by Huey Lewis. You were a big man with a huge heart; always a welcome presence among friends and family. Certainly, you will be missed, rest peacefully. - Posted by: Peter Kolodka (Friend) on: Feb 21, 2025

I am so sorry, Barb. Dave was a great guy. We went to school together and shared many experiences. His big, booming laugh was the first thing I thought of when I saw this. You two were great together. My sincere condolences. -Scott - Posted by: Scott Miner (Friend) on: Feb 20, 2025
