As a new Project Manager in a new environment, I didn’t completely know what I was doing… Dave could tell. I’ll never forget him calling me and saying, “Just lean on me and we’ll get it figured out”. He was here to help. He was a great resource and seemed to have the respect and admiration of everyone I talked to. My deepest condolences to the Daprile family.
I am truly sorry for your loss. David will be missed, and he will never be forgotten, may his soul rest in peace.

Dave was always so much fun to work around. I liked to hear him talk about his tractor he pulled out from under a tree and how he was restoring it. I’m sure he is missed deeply by his family and the people who knew him.
Rest in peace Dave and God bless you and your family
Dave was always ready to help with a solution to a job. He made working at Lilly’s a day with fun amid the hard work we had to do at times. His quick mind and intelligence along with the humor he was gifted with was an asset that will be missed by everyone that had the privilege to know and work with him. I am very sorry for the loss to all of us.
I’ve worked with Dave for many years, you get to know personally, Dave was one of the good guys, he will be missed.
