I am sorry hear about the passing of your spouse. Take care.
I’ve worked with Dave full time nights for about a year and a half to two years. We only have 2 in our department that works in the nights. So we got to know one another pretty well. Dave was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. He was kind, warmhearted and always loved to help people.
We shared a common interest in flashlights, cars and music.
My deepest condolences to the family and friends.
Such terribly sad news…heartfelt condolences Barbara, Mackenzie, Barb and George.
