I met Dave on the Daytona project for Biltmore Construction. Though I have only known him professionally for a short time, I found him a kind and friendly soul. I wish there was more time to know him better. Condolences to his family in this time of great sorrow.

Dave you and I go back 60 years we spent many holidays together such great early family memories. I’m thinking about all the belly laughs we had together I will miss that laugh of yours. I find comfort knowing you’re at peace and found the road home. For ever in my heart Love you … cousin Joey

Dave was a great guy
We served The Lord together and his passion for Jesus was infectious.
A quick story… I call it “Two Weeks, Two Weeks”. Dave was in between jobs and we needed our kitchen cabinets updated, he gave us a quote and told us it would take “Two Weeks”… it ended up taking 2 months… it brings a smile to our faces to this day and we often quote “Two Weeks, Two Weeks”. During that time we spent a lot of time with Dave and he was already a great part of our family.
We will miss him but look forward to spending more than “Two Weeks” with him eternally in heaven.
We miss you brother!
