We have truly been blessed with the most amazing father that anyone could ask for. We love you.
"And whoso receiveth you, there I will be also, for I will go before your face. I will be on your right hand and on your left, and my Spirit shall be in your hearts, and mine angels round about you, to bear you up." D&C 84:88
With all the love in our hearts,

ReplyDeleteDear Industry Friends-
Last night we lost a GREAT person, friend and colleague.
David passed on as a result of traumatic head injuries he sustained in late November after slipping on the ice while coaching a hockey game.
We're all saddened by this lose. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and everyone at HWP.
Please pass this on to whoever had the pleasure of working with David.
Please do not respond to this email; more to follow.
Sadly,
Warren

Kristopher, I know how hard it is to loose your father! He was a great man, and a good friend to me as we grew up together in the Southwood neighborhood. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you, your brothers and sister, Mary and Phil, and the entire family.

We here at Quality Pool & Spa send our unconditional love to your family and will never forget what a wonderful man Dave was. He will always be remembered and we hope that everyone will remember him and all the wonderful things in life he accomplished. We love you.
ReplyDeleteIt broke my heart when I heard that this wonderful man had passed onto his next life. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you and truly families are forever. Michelle, you have wonderful children and each one of them will help you through this.
ReplyDeleteLove to you all. Roxanna Naylor
I am shocked to hear of your dad's passing. I went through jr. high and high school with Dave. We were cheerleaders, and Madrigals, and good friends. We spent many happy hours together a long time ago, and I still remember him with a lot of love and fondness. I send my love and best wishes to you, his family. Thank you so much for this blog. He leaves a wonderful legacy. Sincerely, Wendy Petrovich-Musig
ReplyDeleteWords cannot express how profoundly sad we are by the passing of Dave. Know that we love you and are mourning with you. Dave was a great man! We will forever be grateful to him for all he has done for our family! We love you guys! Hold on to the knowledge and comfort of being an eternal family. I know our Heavenly Father will have his loving hand upon your family at this time to comfort and carry you through this trial.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Ward and Paula Chase & Family
I keep thinking this isn't real. Dave has been so many things to so many people in his life. I selfishly asked HF to take someone else instead. I was looking through all the Boy Scout photos we have of him on campouts and court of honors. He and I spent some long nights in a tent together. I'm glad to have shared some funny memories with him. What a great neighbor and example to us all. The Oliver family will always be here for you.

My wish for all of those that knew and were touched by David
ReplyDeleteI hope that you have the same chance in your life that I have had mine - I could not have picked a better friend and partner if I made the mold myself.
We were opposites in so many ways - but for over a quarter century we built this tent called "HWP" - this was and will continue to be the fabric our relationship- he touched every part of my life and my family along with those who played this game we call the "Great Game of Business"
I loved and will continue to love David and know that he is still in the game- he has just taken on a new role on the board.

Dear Michelle and Family,
ReplyDeleteWe can not even begin to tell you how sorry we are to hear about the events
of the past weeks.Even more so, as it is only a few weeks ago that Dave and
Art invited us to some lovely diners with their close business friends,during
our stay in Las Vegas.
We also still have some fond memories of our visit to SLC a few years ago ,
when Dave and you were so nice to show us your city and church.
If it was not for the fact that we live so far away,we would have wanted to
be there to pay our respect at Dave's funeral.
We wish you and your family all the strength possible on this very sad day.
That God may help you and your children in the future.
All our love
Jan and Cooky Vansoest
