Rest in peace my good friend. Thanks for all you did for me and being my friend. Will miss you.
Our traditional parking spot at Back To The 50’s will never be the same after all these years. You will always be the first thing we think of when we pull up to that spot with our yellow coupe. Thank You Dave for just being you.
Hey Dave. Lots of memories – all good ones too! I remember coaching basketball together with you when Cheryl and my daughter (Annie) were young and first starting basketball. You were a good man and I always looked up to you. I know all your family very well and my prayers go out to them. RIP Dave.

I worked with Dave for several years in the Richfield Girls Basketball program. Dave was always willing to lend a hand. If there was work to be done Dave was there. For a number of years Dave I kept score and time at the Girls Basketball game. I have never laughed so hard. Rest in peace my friend. You were one of a kind and will be missed.
Janice and I will miss you, Dave. I know we’ll keep your memory alive by sharing stories of your colorful life. Sleep well and peaceful Buddy!
