I was saddened when I just heard of Dave's passing. He was a great guy to work with and for, he sure looked out for me in our years at HSN. I will always remember him fondly for those years. He was an extremely smart guy and always did the right thing.
I am sorry for your loss.

Renee,Trevor and Jonee, I am so sorry for the loss of your wonderful husband and father. To David's family, the loss of their beloved son and brother must be devastating for you. To all of us who truly knew and loved David Gaul, he will be an irreplaceable friend and never forgotten. We shall all miss him very very much. God broke the mold when he made David. One of the finest humans I have ever known and loved. It was a privilege to have been a part of his life. Love always, Shelly, Chris and Brooke Thomas

To the family,
I met Dave in 1980 when he was recruiting for Alexander Grant at FSU. He was only out of school himself for a few years but he blew me away with his enthusiasm. I came to know him well over the years and will miss him.
My sympathies to you all.

There is no magic words to ease your pain so cry often and when needed they will turn to Joys one day. Be well and most of all take care of yourself.

Renee, to say I'm shocked would be an understatement. I worked with Dave at HSN and would see him on the odd occassion, usually at Lightning games (the last time being when he flagged us down going to the game and made us crawl in the back seat for the remaining two blocks to the game). I always admired the way he stood by his principles and would not bend ethics. His smile and attitude to life was infectious. I know this is hard on you and your family but just know we mourn with you.

I was very troubled to hear of Dave's passing. Dave and I worked together as CPAs in the audit section of Coopers & Lybrand in the middle 80's. I owe a professional debt of gratitude to Dave which I will never be able to re-pay. Dave was always professional, knowledgeable, and understanding to me and for that I will be eternally grateful. Light-hearted personally, he was always the consummate professional setting the standard for appearance and work product. God's speed, Dave.

I learned today of David's untimely passing. As you know I had a very personal and professional relationship with David. Although our paths have not crossed recently, you know how much I respected David both personally and professionally. If at all possible, Betty Ann and I will see you at the service.

Dear Renee and Trevor, Just heard of David's sudden passing. You both are in my thoughts and prayers. I will always remember how you and David helped us out back in the day. I will always cherish our brief meeting in 29 Palms during the Fallen Warriors Memorial and all the times we were in touch via the computer. All I can say is Ivan and all the 2/7 Fallen welcomed David as he entered Heaven...he is in good hands Renee. I want you to know if you need anything I am here, so don't hesitate to give me a call or drop me a note. I love you and pray for peace and solace for both you and Trevor on this healing journey of grief. Semper Fi.
