Dave was a very generous individual, always had a handfull of lollypops in his pockets for kids in the neighborhood. He was a very active citizen helping collect voter partician signatures, holding signs at poling places, and speaking out at town hall meetings.
He will be greatly missed by all who knew and worked with him for many years trying to get a Mayor form of government for Plymouth, MA.
Gone but not forgotten.
We had the privilege to be Dave’s friends. We benefited from his knowledge when I remodeled our basement, built a large deck/car-port, and re shingled my roof. We car-pooled together for many years and I enjoyed talking with Dave at his home in Plymouth. I sure learned a lot about nuclear plants from him. He will be missed but we will always cherish the memories.
