So sorry to hear this. Prayers and hugs for you, Penny. My heart goes out to you and your family. Grew up with David on Alden Place. Glad to have been part of that awesome gang during our school days. Many memories were made and will always be remembered. May you rest in peace David.
I was looking for a Road King a few years ago and a Brother of mine Eric / Pan Head McLain introduced me to Dave . The moment I met him I knew he was genuine . He was a fine fellow and we hit it off right off the bat . I bought his bike and Pan Head Eric name it Gator . I would contact Dave time to time and let him know about the upgrades that I had done to Gator . Dave was always glad to head about it and he knew the bike was well taken care of . Every time I ride that Bike I Think of a good friend Dave was . Ride High Downtown ! You will surly be missed !
Dave was one of my Bell friends and I worked with him on the Earhart Blvd. "Cut-over" crew. Just a great guy, always fun to be around and I am blessed to have known him. Condolences to Penny and his family.

Dave was one of our Harley Friends from Way Back When. Our sympathy to Penny and the Entire Family. He was Such a Nice Guy; Always Laughing and telling Stories. Forever in our hearts and thoughts. Edddie + Barbara Decossas
Dave always had a greeting of “Hey sister-in-law” for me every time I saw him. He lived life on his terms and that made him happy. He loved his family and cherished those grand and great grandchildren so much. There is a hole in the family with his passing and will be lovingly but sadly missed every day. Frank and I will miss his smile and his joyous greetings. Our love to my sister, our nephews and their families.
It started with black chow/Shepard puppy named Marty. It’s ended with a lifetime of true friends. We watched some of your kids grow out of diapers. We cooked breakfasts for those great parties. We will always remember your smile and laughter. Til we meet again brother. Have a beer ready for me.
I am forever grateful to have known you. You have accepted me unconditionally. You have opened your heart and home to me. You friendship and smile will be my fondest memories of you. Your loss will be hard to bear. Jo Cox
Oh Mrs. Penny, I am so sorry to hear this news. Mr. Dave was always smiling and such a genuine man. I’m sure my Dad greeted him with open arms, a beer and that they are playing darts! Please reach out if you need anything.
