Dave played an instrumental role in my transition to working in corporate America. As my first mentor at Caterpillar, he was a constant source of support, always willing to listen and help. He truly cared for everyone around him. I am forever grateful for his guidance and miss him dearly
I knew Dave as a Caterpillar co-worker and a friend. Dave had a deep knowledge of Caterpillar products and manufacturing processes. He was great to work with and always friendly.
Lots of good memories of uncle Dave. Playing cards, bouncing on his knee, him taking me for a ride on his motorcycle and my mom finding out later. His raspy little laugh when my dad got annoyed when he was telling me to get a tattoo when I was 12.
RIP Uncle Dave
