I only knew Dave for a few years. Every time I visited, no matter how he was feeling, he would make sure to ask me how I was doing and how my life was. He made me feel so welcome in his home in spite of everything else going on. He was a sweet and caring man; I am honored and grateful to have known him, even for just a few years. If the way he treated me was a glimpse into the man he was for the rest of his life, I can see how much he blessed and enhanced those whose lives he touched throughout his life.
