So sorry for your loss. Sending prayers to everyone. Dave was a very nice man and will be missed.
Oh, Valerie! I’m so sorry for your loss. David lives on in your heart, and I know you will see him again.
I developed working relationships with the best contractors over decades as a local Realtor. There were a few quality contractors I would count on to give me the best advice. Dave was one of the few. I also spoke with Dave for my own personal advice. My husband and I were planning to build a few years ago before my husband passed away so we called upon Dave concerning his lots and building as we loved the Willow Rd area. Then a couple of months ago, I sought Dave’s advice as I was making an offer for myself on a Willow Rd home he built. He was so kind and gracious in answering all my questions and generously gave me his time. You as his family can rest assured he left behind a lasting impression. Please accept my condolences.
