Dave's home away from home was his work. That's what you call it when you commit to spending long hours to getting the project done. Your co-workers become your family and friends because at the end of the shift there is little time left in a day to spend with your real loved ones. Dave was a hard worker, made a host of friends and always had a smile on his face. He kept that smile through the roughest weather, the hardest push to get the work done and and the all the frustration that goes with on the job demands. Dave talked about his home and family on Whidby Island often. No doubt in my mind, missing them very much. His presence and everlasting smile will be missed. My deepest condolences to his loving family.
