AT MARY QUEEN OF PEACE CHURCH MY WIFE AND I HAD THE GOOD FORTUNE OF MEETING BOTH GRACE AND DAVE, IF YOU WERE LOOKING FOR A STAND UP GUY, FULL OF FUN, HUMOR AND LOVE FOR FAMILY AND FRIENDS THERE WAS NONE BETTER THAN DAVE. HIS 50TH WEDDING PARTY WAS AN EXAMPLE OF THE HIGH REGARD HE HAD FOR HIS WIFE. FAMILY AND FRIENDS'. I CAN ONLY HOPE THAT HE CONTINUES AS A GREETER AT THE GATES OF HEAVEN AND I WILL MEET HIM AGAIN.
To the family of Dave Bunce:
I’m so sorry to hear of Dave’s passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. David hired me in 1987. I had the good fortune early in my career to learn the business under Dave and to go on to serve as one if his Regional Sales Trainers. Dave and Grace entertained me in their home on several occasions. Dave had definitely mastered the art of hospitality. He taught me the ins and outs of the many years of success that he enjoyed as he lead the “Dixie Thoroughbreds”. One of the many learnings was that the best way to get to know someone is over a lengthy dinner. Never without injecting his passion for history. I enjoyed many lengthy dinners and put on many calories under Dave’s leadership.
Please know I am forever thankful for the opportunities Dave provided for me and my family. His influence had a tremendous impact on me and he leaves behind many great memories that will live on. May he R.I.P.
God bless,
Johnny Miller
To Dave's children and extended family I send my heart-felt condolences. Knowing Dave, and Grace, changed by life as a young person starting off in a career in sales with Ross Labs. Dave was my Regional Manager for many years and in a fashion that only Dave could deliver he inspired and empowered me, and countess of our colleagues, to go beyond anything we would have ever imagined possible. In 2000 my wife and I traveled to New Orleans to spend the weekend with Dave and Grace which we will never forget. A master of hospitality, Dave gave us the insider tour of New Orleans. It seemed like he knew half of the city personally and was loved by all who knew him. What a blessing it was to know Dave Bunce. God Rest Him.
