To all of Dave’s family, Jayna & children. I’m so very sorry for your loss!!! Dave was a great guy and always had a smile for me whenever I saw him. He was very nice to my grandson, Antony as well. I know he will be missed by all of his loved ones. His passion/love for his daughter and grandchildren were obvious whenever he spoke of them. Rest in peace Dave.
