Dear Fran and Matt, Please accept my deepest sympathy on the loss of Dave. I have many fond memories of his great personality and know he will be greatly missed. Dave always gave me great advice with a sense of humor, growing up being one of Matt’s friends. I’ll never forget his quick one liners. May you always hold fond memories of your time together.
