I worked with Dave at Mayo Clinic and he was a standup person. When he retired, he made sure I got his old laptop because I didn't have a Mayo one. He always put in that extra effort to care about things even if they were not his personal pains. He will be very missed. The world needs more people like Dave.
I worked with Dave at Mayo Clinic for a bit right up to this retirement. Always quick with a smile and a laugh, Dave was an absolute pleasure to work with and I enjoyed every opportunity I had to chat with him. My deepest sympathies.
My deepest sympathy. I knew Dave at Mayo Clinic. I supported him as his Administrative Assistant. What a nice person to work with. He will be deeply missed by all.
Anita, I am so sorry to hear this news. I have such good memories working with Dave at Saint Marys. We all kinda grew up together. One really cold morning during Saint Marys days my car would not start and Dave drove over to jump start. We had so many conversations about family, he loved his family. He always gave good advice. He will be missed. Anita Perkins

Anita and kids, I am thinking of you all and praying for you through this difficult time. Will see Friday!
Anita, I can't believe I saw you just the day before. How life changes! Know we hold you in our hearts through this terrible time. Dave was a rock. We know your family must be reeling.
