I was so sorry to hear about Dave's passing. I just can't believe it. I have known Dave for 20 years. I remember all our long conversations while he was working on my computer. He talked about his daughters all the time. I know about all their sports and schools. Susie when you and Dave first starting dating he talked about you all the time, he was head over heels in love, I just didn't know with who. He wasn't naming names. I will miss Dave and will keep you in my prayers.

Dave was a good friend of mine at work for many years and used to go for coffee everyday. We used to talk about IT issues, Cars, Indian food, Home Projects, etc. He was always helpful and I truly miss him.

Susie,
My thoughts are with you and your family during this time. I worked with Dave at the service center for a number of years and he was a great guy. He always spoke highly of his girls and the miles he put on his vehicles taking them to the next event or helping to move a horse. My utmost sympathy goes out to you and your family.

Throughout my life there have been few who have left a profoundly positive impression that has been untouched through time, but you were one of the few exceptions. You were one of the kindest men I ever knew with a laugh that could brighten an entire room and a smile your friends and family joyfully basked in. You taught me how to bowl, take a joke, and the power of charisma, but most importantly you brought me one of the most cherished friends of my entire life. May your family find peace and your spirit live on in the greatest celebration the afterlife can offer.

Every once in a while you meet someone who leaves an impact on your life so great that is spans all concepts of time and seperation, Where each time a memory captures your mind, it brings nothing but happiness, where even though you haven't seen each other in years, once you do it feels like yesterday. Where everything is comfortable and friendly, where familia is more than just a word, it's a reality. Pablo and I will both miss you terribly, but I will know that when April and Lyssa are together and laughing so hard their sides hurt and their faces are both red as strawberries from giggling like little girls, you won't be far.
Save a spot for us my friend on the tee and after the last frame.
Love you always and forever

Dear Susie,

I had the pleasure to know, and work with Dave. He bailed my butt of numerous IT problems over the 15 years I had the pleasure of his company. Though taken way too early, his legacy will live on through us all who knew, love, and cherished Dave. Ride into that great beyond, Dave, we will all miss your presence here.

I am older than David, but, I always considered him a mentor. He was by far the best IT professional I knew. He would always find time to help me with a difficult project. He and I agreed on many things. But, we had our differences. He told me that the moon landing was a hoax. That lead to more than one heated discussions. But, that was okay because there wasn't much he could do or say wrong. I respected David and appreciated him more then I ever let him know. I always thought that we would have that conversation some time. This is why I am doing it now. I want his family and friends to know that David left a lasting impression on me and undoubtedly many others. I am extremely sorry for your loss. I am sorry I waited to let David know how special I thought he was. God Bless David. God Bless his family.
