Dave was one of the nicest guys to visit with here at Staples. We had lots of great talks and I would also see him outside of work at school functions. He was a great guy to help out with a job and always had a nice smile. He will really be missed by all of us at Staples.
With deepest sympathy.

I am sorry for the loss of your loved one. When I loss my grandfather the following scripture brought me much comfort. It's found at Psalms 34:18 there it says "Jehovah is close to the brokenhearted; He saves those who are crushed in sprit." May these words comfort you now and in the months to come.

Well, what do you say? You were a good friend. You were there when I needed you. I'm so sorry that I couldn't have been there more. I know you're in a better place now and at peace. May God bless. You will be remembered by me.
Dave took care of the furnace and A/C whenever Charlie was out of town and was always willing to help me! We will miss you, Dave Allen!

David was the first person outside of my own department to welcome me to the company during my first week here at Staples - now nearly 3 years ago. We spoke and laughed often. He was a pleasure to be around. I am shocked and deeply saddened by his passing. Please know that he will be missed by a great many people. My sincerest condolences for your loss.

I can't begin to express my heartbreak in hearing the news regarding Dave. I am so sorry for your loss. He was a special person in my life and I will miss the stories we shared about being dog parents. May God comfort you and bring you peace.

So sorry to see that you have lost another family member. Seeing Dave's picture, I think I remember him at your house, Gail. Would love to see you and the girls, but don't know that I will be making it to Des Moines, but I might. If not, get ahold of me sometime. My sympathy to all of your family at this sad time. He, as was Greg, much too young for this!

God Bless you all.

Gonna miss you, Dave. Gonna miss the times we would be on our patios in the back, during summer grillings, having beer, and talking about fishing, dogs, etc. Will also miss hearing you play the guitar in your basement at night, as we could also hear it inside our own house. Rest in peace, our dear friend and neighbor. Visit us and give us some kind of sign that you are here.
