My poppy, my teacher, my bestfriend. I will forever miss going golfing, and going for a pizza after. I miss the sound of his voice and his hugs. He was truley the best grandfather ever, I am so incredibly happy God gave me him as a grandfather. He will forever be missed.
I worked with Dave in ycib he was truly a great officer and a great training officer RIP Dave
We worked in the package room on many a Sunday and he and I would have many conversations while examinaning the food packages of clients incarcerated in the Institution and that we thought about going out to get something down the street from the convenience store but we never needed too.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
My Condolences to the Black Family. Dave was one of the good guys. He was a good teacher, an AWESOME communicator, a good Friend to all that knew him, but most of all a GREAT human being. He will be sorely missed.
