We are so very sad to hear of Dave's passing. He was always eager to lend a hand when we lived in Jamestown, even when we hadn't asked for one. He always put others before himself. Ray thoroughly enjoyed working with him during his years at Cargill and said, "Dave was one of the greatest men I've ever known". Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of his family and loved ones.

We are so sorry for your loss and for the loss of many of us. Dave was more than a friend to Nabil and I. He was like a brother who was always there for us unconditionally. We were very fortunate to have him as a friend and we grieve his departure with you. We have so many fond memories with him from him being Santa Claus for our children many years ago at Christmas time to him calling Nabil "Nabillionaire" as a joke/nickname and his greeting : "Have a great Dave!" He was indeed a man with an enormous heart of gold who did not hesitate to put others before himself. We miss you Dave, until we meet again.
