    I met Dave while playing the PC game Fallout76 online. He was a mentor to me to really help me understand all the nuances of the gameplay. After a many weeks of playing together, we would often set our avatars down on a some chairs (in-game) and just chat about family and food. He shared his ‘crack-ham’ and lasagna rolls recipes with me (both are so yummy). He spoke about taking the ‘girl-child’ to visit college campuses and sorting out where she would like to go once she graduated high school. We did not have the chance to meet in person, but I am sure we would have been best buds sharing a beer and some of his great cooking! On many occasions while we were chatting in-game, I would overhear some happy banter he was having with Isabella. I know he loved her and Tammy with all the love a father and husband can give. I am so sad that he left us at so soon and unexpectedly. He will remain my friend until we meet again.

    We’ve known Dave as a neighbor and friend for many years. He was always willing to lend a hand when we were repairing our car or clearing the street of a fallen tree. It was a pleasure watching him spend time with Isabella as she grew up (Sled riding, walks, and school projects).
    He even spoke about what he and Isabella were going to prepare for dinner. We will truly miss Dave. I hope that Tammy and Isabella find comfort and peace and know that they are in our thoughts and prayers.

    We were neighbors for about 8 years and were truly saddened by the news of his passing. Truly a wonderful neighbor. Always available to lend a hand or a tool or a beer. Our thoughts are with Tammy and Isabella and wish them peace during this difficult time. RIP Dave, there’s a Miller Lite waiting for you on the other side.

    Dave, John Califous, and myself were the misfits of Morris Hills high school. We have kept in touch. I will miss him so much. we were there for each other back in times and he was my brother keeping me anchored on more occasions than i can count. I’ve not met Tammy but I know she could not have had a better Dad and she makes him so proud.
    My Heart goes out to the family.
