Dodie, kids…wow! I guess I kind of lived in this space that I thought Dave would always be around. We’ve known each other for years, from his early Fader Equipment days to holiday visits armed with oranges and windmill cookies. From overnight visits when I played racquetball in GR to exchanging hugs on the show floor of the ARA. We were friends, we were business associates, and he was your loving dad and husband. We will all miss him, but you will miss him most of all. My deepest sympathies as you navigate this time.

Dear Dodie, my sincerest and deepest condolences to you and your amazing family. I am so sorry for the loss of Dave. I have often wondered if you still snowbirded here, but I never knew where. I have very fond memories of you guys being my neighbors at Waterside Club. Dave was a good man and friend. I recall all the fun times we all had together and his light-hearted spirit and joy for life. May he rest in peace, and may you be blessed with all the sweet memories you enjoyed together. Take care of yourself. Love, Irene
