    I am so sorry for your loss. I have worked my entire career with Dave. He truly was one of the good guys. Some of my fondest memories are when we had our training weeks together. They are usually the worst weeks but with Dave they always were memorable. More important than the food was if the restaurant had keno and scratch tickets. Even through retirement and his treatments we would still talk on a regular basis and I will miss him greatly.
    Denise,Jeff and Erica my heart aches for you. He loved you guys so much and would talk about all the trips you guys would go on. He was so proud of his family.

    I write this morning with a heavy, heavy heart. I knew Dave and his family since being little boys at the Westlands School in Chelmsford. Many fond memories have come flooding back. I can still hear him laughing. My deepest, sincerest sympathy to Denise, Dave’s children, Kevin and Kim. God Bless.

    Dave and I were friends in high school afterwards we didn’t see each other as much as we would have liked we would run into each other time and again and always say how we have to get together unfortunately it didn’t happen and will always be one of my biggest regrets, I will always remember Dave with a big smile and a lot of laughs love you man
