I am sorry for your loss of Dave. I worked with him for many years at Holtwood. He was a good operator and always fun to be around. I was glad for him when he retired and hoped he would enjoy many years of retirement. I grieve with you at his passing, but rejoice for him, for he is now free from pain and is with his savior. May you find peace in the living memories of him, and share stories with the grand children about Dave, and keep him alive in your hearts.
