Davey was one of the coolest guys I met. I remember the first time Insaw him with his helmet tilted back, sunglasses, smoking a cigar on his Harley. As he pulled up. That grin…that is how I’m gonna remember him. My love and condolences to everyone.
As so many others always remember Dave as spook in the good old days. Another fellow classmate gone to soon, thoughts and prayers to his family.

We will all miss you Dave, you cross checked out on us way to soon, we have alot of great memories of all of our softball playing days with the Outlaws, what a character you were Dave and a great athlete, I will never forget the times where I would stop over and we would launch tennis balls at each other with your hockey sticks. Dave always got the best of me for sure.. Rest in peace Dave, all my condolences to his family.
Christine and family, my heart and prayers go out to you and the family with Dave’s passing. I have known Dave for many years. We were coworkers, fellow riders, and most of all…good friends. Dave was truly one of a kind, he was the the type of guy that was always there if you needed something and would give you the shirt off of his back. I will always cherish the fond memories and will always smile when I think of him. Enjoy your final ride Dave, you will truly be missed but you will never be forgotten…you will live on forever in those that you touched. Always keep the shiny side up brother!!!
During this difficult time, may you find memories to bring a smile, friends to bring comfort, and hope to bring peace. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
(I will greatly treasure the Harley ride when we came to visit for a family reunion. It was a blast.)
In quietness and in confidence shall be your strength. Isaiah 30:15
I will not be able to be at the service but will be watching on line. My condolences to Christine and his entire family. He was great friend and great man, I talk to Dave everyday. He will live on through all who knew him.
