Tributes
"Our deepest sympathy to the family. We are so sorry for your loss. We ran into him on and off through the years and he was a joy to talk to."
""Gentleman" is such a fitting word for Dave. In my association with Dave at Moorman's for many years, I had an opportunity to work with Dave on many occasions, he in the Accounting Department and I in Data Processing. I admired Dave for his patience and professionalism. On breaks, we would compete to see who could name the group/artist of many of those "golden oldies". I don't think I ever beat him --- he was so good at that! What fun that was though. My sincere condolences to Dave's family at this time. Just know that a lot of people are really going to miss Dave. His smiling face and friendly disposition was commonplace for him. He was my friend, and we will all be together again if we but keep the faith in our Lord and Savior. Ernie Bain"
" I?ve known Dave most of the 40 years I worked at Moormans/ADM. never have I known a kinder, more patient coworker and teacher. We had fun times too! I pray he?s found peace and eternal joy with Sherry now. You will be so missed. Vickie Glas"
"REST IN PEACE GEORGE IT WAS GOOD KNOWING YOU AT MOORMANS PRAYERS TO THE FAMILY AT THIS TIME "
"I first worked with Dave at MoorMan's when I started there in 1998. I was fresh out of college and just remember thinking how smart Dave was and also how kind. He had worked there for many years, but he treated me like family. We only worked together a few years, but I ran into him off and on throughout the years. It was always great catching up with him. He was such a kind soul. I am very sorry for your loss. You can't make them any better than Dave. Charla Martin Palmyra, Missouri "
