I knew Dave from the days he delivered coke to the foundry in Rothbury. I was the receptionist that took care his weigh tickets. Dave and I formed a friendship that has lasted over 20 years. He was so kind and generous - always sending Valentine chocolates and Easter candy to me and my husband. I enjoyed reading his notes about house projects, and will truly miss him. Thank you, Dave, for being such a great friend! Our thoughts and prayers to Sherry and the Everitt family. May the strength of God be with you, and may the memories of Dave comfort you.
