Edward and Shirley Smith so sorry for your loss. Think about you all the time. May he rest in peace. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Dave was a great friend as well as a great supervisor. He was very generous, caring, and most of all loyal to everyone that he considered a friend. I am saddened at his passing and will miss talking to him and catching up. Rest in Peace my friend and I will keep your family and our friends in my thoughts and prayers during these sad times.
Condolences to those who loved and lost you,
If only I’d had the opportunity to better know you. You seemed to have touched the lives of so many, while not deeming it necessary to be a part of mine.
Your daughter,
Madison
