Dave was a huge presence in the room, but always a gentle giant. We were so lucky to get to spend some time with him.

So sorry to hear about the passing of your father David. He was a special person who always made my husband Bill & I feel so welcome every time we stopped in LasCruses on our way to Ruidoso each summer.

May he rest in peace

Dave brought me and my wife to Seattle 27 years ago to work with him at DMR.  Thanks to Dave, I took up golf, for which I will always thank him.  Dave truly loved life and living it to its fullest. He set a great example for all of us.  I have many great memories of time with him.

We are so sorry to hear of Dave's passing. When we moved to Picacho Hills in 2006, Dave and Mary Rita lived on the other side of our Street, Regency Ct., although their address was Constitution. We were invited to several of their superbowl parties and had a great times. We would often stop and chat whenever we took a walk up Constitution. He took the grand kids over for our July 4th party, and attended to as a loving grandfather. Dave was always so easy going and easy to talk with. When he married Candis, we got to know him even more, especially enjoying his stories over dinners. He will be missed.

I met Dave and Candice on a Smithsonian trip to Iceland in 2018. He was a great traveler and I have fond memories of our visit to The Land of Ice and Fire.   RIP Dave.
