Remembering the first time I met Dave on the 'porch' of the Wawa. Ever happy and welcoming, you couldn't help but be caught up in Dave's sense of humour. All Donna could talk about was Dave's smile and laughter. Indeed this Canadian family was so very lucky to know personally the love that he and my sister shared. We will miss him but can be grateful for having had the opportunity to know and love this man.

I met Dave December 19, 1986, my 1st day working at DeVault Maintenance on the PA Turnpike. Dave had been lucky enough to have been chosen to teach me the roads! We became fast friends and always talked even when I left DeVault and moved on to Trevose. Gods speed Dave see ya on the other side!
