I had the honor of working with Dave many years ago when we both were new to the Postal Service. He was a great guy to work with and always there to lend a hand or an ear--then a smile. I was shocked to hear of his passing. He will be missed by all. My sympathies to the family at this time of sorrow and grief.

I remember Dave as someone who was always smiling and always so friendly. I never heard him say a cross word about anyone. He played softball with my husband, George, and took his son Ryan with him. His son, Justin, is a friend of my grandson, Jesse. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
