"To Dave's family, I am sorry for your loss. I worked with Dave for nine summers at Discovery Park. Dave was always fun to work with. He would do whatever was needed and the park always looked great. The staff heard many comments from the public about how nice the park looked. Dave cared, had a great work ethic and kept Discovery Park in a condition we could all be proud of. Bob Kenyon "
