Patty Ann, Jeffery, Christian my heart is broken to learn of Dave's passing. I can honestly say he was one of a kind that I loved unconditionally. From the first time I bet him to the last time I saw him he was always concerned about Patty Ann's welfare. Dave loved her more than any man could love a woman. He was so proud of his kids, and always had something positive to say about them. I believe we will all miss him every day of our lives. Here's to you big guy, till we meet again. ❤️

Growing up across the street from the Bamberg’s gave me so many fond memories with Dave. He always had a joke to make everyone laugh (or blush). In fact, as I got older and would return home from being out I could just go to the driveway and listen for the roaring laughter to determine where my parents were. When I entered Dave was almost always holding court with another joke or funny story. Whatever is next after this life I’ll just listen for the laughter and head there with a bottle of Bombay. My thoughts and prayers to Pat, Jeff, and Christina. Dave will be missed.

Dave and Pat were one of the most in love couple I know. When I moved to Florida they were two of the first people I met. They made me dinner every Sunday night in my single days. ( I still make Daves signature sauteed mushrooms when we have steak). When my husband proposed they were the first people we went to celebrate with. I will always remember Dave with that warm smile, big hug, huge heart, and welcoming personality. Thank you for the great memories Dave. Love you bunches.

"Dave has taught me so much through the years, which I couldn't thank him enough for. I looked forward to seeing him every year at shows and getting one of his famous hugs and shared laughter and stories. He was a true icon in our industry and will be forever missed and loved.

Dave had a way about him that more than made you feel welcome. You felt instant affection from him. As a young man Dave shaped my life. He really lit up a room and made you instantly comfortable. I will miss him deeply.

I’m not sure what lies beyond this life, but whatever it is, I’m fairly certain Big Dave has already taken over behind the bar and is making sure everyone’s glass is topped off. I hoist my Bombay Sapphire martini to you Big Dave, cheers to a life well lived! 🍸

Pat, Greta and I want send our heartfelt condolences! We fondly remember visiting the neighborhood to see the plot where our house was to be built. And Dave was so welcoming to us! As a neighbor, Dave always had this big smile, a joke, or just a helping hand! Our prayers and thoughts are with you during this time, Greta and Joe

Pat and Family, I’m sorry to hear of Dave’s passing. I will never forget the first time we meet Dave 20+ years ago at a convention. Dave helped us navigate the industry. He introduced us to many suppliers and service providers. He was a fixture in the sanitation industry

Dave always had a smile on his face, a joke ready and sincerely cared about people. Dave became a friend to all. He was the energy of any group. He will be dearly missed.

Dave played the organ very well. I was in a high school band for several years. We tried without success to include Dave but, unfortunately no one of us could correctly tune to his instrument. 😀 I guess I’ll always remember Dave’s sense of humor and especially his laugh. RIP buddy.

Dave was a leader, a consumate salesman professional. Dave was an inspiration to me in the PT business. He always lent a helping hand and gave the best business advice. Our company, Toi Toi in Asia, respected him. We think of him often.
