It is impossible to write any words that more appropriately speak to the amazing life that Dave led beyond those words written by Carol Ann for Dave's obituary.  Therefore, I will leave it at this:  It was more than an honor knowing Dave, working along side of him, and having him as a treasured friend.  It was a blessing; he was a gift from heaven.  Phil & Kathy

Dave was my boss for over 20 years.  "Boss" is probably the wrong term.  He was a mentor, a guide, and, above all, a friend.  His kindness and thoughtfulness always inspired me to try and better myself (though not always with success).  Thank you Dave (and Carol Ann) for your kindness and hospitality.

Having worked in a similar position as Dave  for Sunnyvale I had the pleasure of knowing him for many years. He was truly a gentleman. Patient, thoughtful, intelligent and optimistic come to mind when I think back on my interactions with him. I regularly teased/harassed Dave about his signature work attire...sport coat and tie. His response was always a warm smile.
