I worked with Big Dave for many years and learned a lot from, both what to do and not to do lol! He always had a good story to tell and one thing is for certain, he loved his family very much and talked about them often! Old oilfield hand like Dave are becoming more scarce and we are worse off for it. I will truly miss talking to Dave and miss his humor and brutal honesty! Travel well my friend! See ya down the road!

Big Dave we called him at Kerr McGee, Anadarko, and Crimson. He was a big man with a big heart. I believe he touched the lives of everyone he met. He was a hard worker a good friend to many. We will all miss him. He was a fighter for many years to get his health under control and he told me as I know he told others he was very tired of fighting it. He will be in our hearts forever he is at pease now. My sincere condolences to all of his family. Rick and Brenda Turnbow
