Linda Higgins Olson and I give you our deepest sympathy for your loss.
Although I haven’t known Dave long, I feel like he was a dear friend. I am saddened by his sudden death. My heartfelt condolences to all his family. Rest In Peace my friend!
Dave was a master, we enjoyed the benefit of his talents at our home in Bethany. He was our “go-to” tile guy. We developed a friendship during the many projects and always had a lot to talk about from tile choices to design alternatives for his own renovation projects to politics to relationships. He had a huge heart! I particularly loved his raspy voice. Rest In Peace, Dave. A life cut way too short.
It is with a deeply saddened heart I post my dearest love and condolences to Jennie and Jackie and my friend Diane.
May be Rest In Peace knowing how much he was loved.
All my love,
Lucia

Our deepest condolences. We lived right next door for the last 5 years. Always outside working in the yard. He always was there to help us with our yard, cutting down trees or whatever project we were doing. We will miss him dearly.
How great was it to raised by the “Greatest ” parents and the Best neighborhood of all times. Everybody watched out for everyone’s children and we played our hearts out till it got dark every night. We skated on that pond in the wintertime until our feet could go no more. Dave, you always made me laugh. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family and may you rest in peace.

Dave was one of the friendliest guys I’ve ever met. He would always stop in and ask how my family was doing. He cared a lot about the tile business and doing a great job. He attended all of our events at Tile America and always brought a cheerful attitude and made everyone feel good. Dave will be missed by everyone at Tile America and I’m sure by all those that were fortunate enough to know him.
RIP my friend. Condolences to family, thoughts and prayers. Big heart, bigger personality. You’ll be missed.
