Friend and Colleague

I first met Dave in April, 2003 when Hanger acquired his company.  I had the good fortune to provide business assistance to him for the ensuing five years.  More importantly, we became friends. 

It was readily apparent from the first time I met Dave, that it was critically important to have a balance between family and business.  His had the ability to be a strong business leader and at the same time devote adequate time to his family.  He was always asking me how my vacations went or how I spent my time off before discussing business.

He was a creative motivator for those he managed and a very astute business person.  He enjoyed taking on challenges and was rightfully proud of his accomplishments.  It was an honor to work with him.

I was amazed at how he was able to endure the pain of his illness and still perform at a high level.  It was incredible!  I will miss our talks, his friendship and comraderie and Hanger will miss his leadership.  It was an honor to know him.  I am sure God has a special place for David.
