I was a Board Member and Treasurer for The Family Service Agency where Dave once worked and was shocked to read of his death. Just a few months ago he was still helping care givers with their issues at the meetings at St. Andrews and sat at the table with those of us dealing with Alzheimers. He was a very friendly man and remembered me from my Board Days. He will be missed by many.

What a loss for our community. I worked with David for 16 years at Family Service of Hancock Counselor. He was a wonderful team member and many people who came to see him for mental health issues were helped by his skills and compassion. He gave people hope that life could be better. He was a loving family man and was a faithful servant of God. He will be remembered by the many people he helped live better lives!

Dave counseled me when I was going through some hard times. He gave me excellent advice that I remember to this day. He said, "You are not responsible for another person's happiness." RIP Dave. You will be missed.
