    I have had the pleasure of being aquainted with Dave since the early days of D&D Glass when he supplied the Cashway store in Atwood.Dave shared his pleasant personality not only in his personel life but within his business dealings as well. It is with sadness I learn of his passing. I have followed the progress of his battle during the past 13 years and admired the courage and positive attitude he maintained during that time.
    One can only take solace in the fact that Dave is now at peace.
    I wish to offer my deepest and sincere sympathy to Marg and the family during this difficult time and know that Dave&&single&&s great fun loving spirit has left many fond memories that will give them strength in the coming days.

    Dear Marg and family,

    Words can&&single&&t express how deeply sorry we are for your great loss. Family always came first to him, and he was so lucky to have family like you to support him through this fight. He was a proud businessman and took pride in his work. He knows it will be in great hands for years to come. He built it from the ground up and what a great job he did. He was a community man, you could always count on him to help support all the many causes that went on in this area. He always had that smile and grin on his face. In all the years I have known him, I never seem him mad or angry, he was just a happy guy!!! Watch out heaven the fun has just begun!!!!

    Mary Ellen, Mark, Jack and Sam
