Dave, Barb and family- This took many by surprise and dismay. Your dad was “young”. You must be reeling at this point as if it’s still not true. Know many were lucky to know, converse and work with your dad. He had an ability to cut to the chase and know the scene and “meat and potatoes” of an issue. My thoughts, prayers and sincere condolences to all.

So sorry to learn of the passing of Dave. In his capacity with Jefferson County I worked very closelly with him and always enjoyed his sense of humor & calm about anything he was having to address at Whispering Pines. He very much enjoyed his river life & time down Key West way. He will be missed by many county employees who worked with him over the years prior to his retirement.
