Dave was a beloved and active member of the Livermore community, involved with business, politics and sports. Dave was a father of three, and had a natural, playful, friendly way with kids, who universally adored him.  Dave was instrumental in passing Livermore’s Measure D, a bond measure that helped build the new Livermore library and refurbish Livermore’s schools.  Dave was a patient and faithful soccer coach for many years who always named his team “The Goal Getters.”

Dave was a well-liked social presence, organizing block parties, poker games, and winning the neighborhood chili contest.  Dave was generous with his time and was always ready to help a neighbor hang curtains or fix a leak with his handy skills and extensive toolset.  Dave kept a stocked fridge in his open garage, and had a standing policy that any neighbor could help themselves whether he was home or not.  Dave was an entrepreneur and founded his own wireless communications business WeCare Networks, where he committed to donating 10% of the company’s revenues to educational charities.  Prior to that Dave was a successful sales executive with Verizon.

Dave is survived by his three vibrant daughters Clara, Olivia and Audrey, his loving parents Dorothy and Alan, his brother Lee and his loyal dog and constant companion Molly.  Although Dave has left us, his legacy will live on, as his work and commitment to youth and education have benefited an entire generation of Livermore students.  He will never be forgotten.
