There was a time when I could count on bumping into David at the local hardware store. We would catch up on things and take a few trips down memory lane. I’ll miss that.
David was indeed a craftsman that we could learn from simply by watching him work. RIP.
Our hearts are so sad that Dave is no longer with us. A kinder man you’d never meet. He was a gifted carpenter and a very good friend, always willing to lend a hand. His gentle sense of humor kept every job light. He was a good man, who will be sorely missed.
Colleen and family,
We are so sorry to learn of Dave’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during these difficult times. Wow, Dave was just the best. He was such a kind and gentle soul, and was a delightful person to know and work with. He tackled countless restoration projects using his ingenuity and artful carpentry skills. We will remember him fondly and miss him dearly.
