We can't express our sadness hearing the loss of our loving friend Dave.
From the time I came to America and joined with Dave's team in Symantec Corp in 2005, Dave helped me lot & lot professionally learning IT technology, and personally
Dave was a great Ping-Pong player as he learnt this game directly from South East Asian country Taiwan during his missionary services. We have played Ping pong daily, I still remember that Dave used to fly around all the corners of the ping-pong table in the lightning speed with fiery hits, followed by a lovely smile and wiping the sweating from his forehead with his left hand. I don't remember that if I had ever returned his top-class spin service ball successfully and I never won a game against Dave so far despite I too was a good player on my college days in India.
Dave had advised and guided me until getting the college admission for my kids in University of Utah. And when both of our kids got affected by COVID on their arrival in SLC, they happened to move to hotel (for quarantine) directly from the Airport. While none of our Indian friends afraid of visiting my kids due to Covid, Dave only understood our inability (me and my wife were back in India) and Dave volunteered to help with foods and cloths and Dave presence near to my kids was a great morale boosting for us and We really felt that Dave was a messenger of GOD to take care our kids in those very needy time. we are so grateful to Dave for our entire life.
Dave had been taking my kids many times for dinner and the lunch until just few weeks back even when he was critically sick. The last chat message which Dave sent me was about a job opportunity for my wife in a school and his reference-call to that school recruiter.
Understanding my inabilities to visit USA to meet my kids, Dave was worrying lot and keep on guiding me with different options. I have told Dave that I would meet him once I get the opportunity to come to USA. Now I feel guilty and regret for my inability to meet our loving friend, before he passed away [I am crying and tears rolling down on my face]
Dear Dave, you have blessed me many times in our office cubical, and we are sure that your blessings will always be there for my kids and wife. Even though you've gone out of our life, we will be living with your blessings. You will be forever in our heart. THANKS DAVE from our heart.
Denise, We knew certainly that you are the one behind Dave's all activities in the past 5 to 10 years. Because you, Dave was able to shower all his kindness, helping, and caring towards us and many others like us. We will remember your time, the painful effort you put forward in all your visits to our family and kids. We should be thankful to you Denise. We love you Denise.
May Dave's loving memories bring you peace, comfort, and strength. Our heart is with you in your time of sorrow.
