I am very sad to hear about Dave’s passing, we worked together at Calvert Jones and he was my supervisor there and later joined me over HVAC Precision Services. Dave and were good friends. We drifted apart over the years, but he called me recently and we discussed his disability regarding his injury last year. It was a struggle for him but he was excited to get back to work at John C Flood in sales position they opened up for him when he was able to get back to work.
We talked about getting together for lunch or dinner, but unfortunately we didn’t get around to it.
My condolences go out to all who have been affected by this loss. He was a good friend to many.
We were saddened to hear of your families loss. May your memories console you and Mae got some stain you with his precious promise to someday soon will unite us with our loved ones. Thoughts of peace.
