Patti,

I am so sorry to hear about Dave. I don't know if you remember me, I worked for Dave at Polo. I will keep you and your girls in my prayers. God bless.

Cheers to you good friend!

When a person leaves a world that relies on you for laughter, love, and support, sometimes we tend to mourn for what we miss versus appreciating all we had. Dave...you were a light for so many: acquaintances, family, and loving friends. We all looked at you and were proud, for we knew your heart had no boundaries, your laughter was uplifting, and your presence made all who knew you cherish your vitality. Thank you for being a great man. Of course, you will be missed but you are treasured in the hearts of all you touched.

Julie & I met Dave last August when we purchased a home he built. Dave was gracious and conscientious when it came to making sure we were not only satisfied in our home, but thoroughly content with him and his work. He took pride in his work and it showed. I could sense love and devotion when he spoke of Patti and the girls. He loved and was proud of his family. Although I only knew Dave a few months, it was obvious that he was a man who lived life to the fullest, and seldom failed to experience all that life had to offer. He will be missed. Patti, you and your girls are in our prayers daily.

We miss you,

I had the privaledge of knowing and working with Patti and watching her change from a devoted wife to an incredible mother, growing her bond with David that much stronger! She is so special and so gifted, I am filled with such sadness. David gave so much and lived life with such positive vigor. Patti, you and your precious children are in my thoughts and prayers.

We had the pleasure of meeting Dave and Patti less than 3 years ago. Mutual friends of ours from Chicago introduced us when they knew of our upcoming move to Batavia. They are simply warm and unforgettable people who welcomed us in to their home and lives as if we were there all along for years. We were a small fraction and slice of Dave's giant pie of life. He was a very good man. We are so very proud to have known him and experienced his unending jovial spirit. Thoughts and prayers go out to all esp. Patti and the girls he so adored.

David was an incredible friend to every person he met along his way in life. He was the brightest spot in every room! His love of life touched so many of us. Our memories of David will last more than a lifetime. During the past several years, David boasted each time I saw him about his beautiful wife, daughters and his home. His life was full of love. David shared that joy, happiness and love with all of that knew him. I will miss him dearly.

I have been blessed with knowing Dave for 2 years. Not only was it a business relationship (his attorney's office) but became a very good friendship. The one thing that I will always rememeber is the time he bolted in our office with a bottle of Tesera after we closed a huge deal and said "Its time to celebrate."

We had many conversations..about business but mostly about his lovely wife and beautiful daughters whom he adored. That was always his main concern...taking care of his family.

I was shocked and saddened by the news of his passing. My thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time.

I've lived next door to Dave for the majority of my life. Dave was always so energetic and fun to be around. I'll always remember our little conversations as we went to our cars. My family and I know how hard this must be for Patty and the girls. We all send our love and prayers, God Bless.

I had the extreme pleasure of meeting David Anselme about three years ago. What a warm, outgoing, wonderful person. He would be there for just about anyone. He cared and loved his family very much, especially his wife and daughters. He was a good man. I'm glad to have known him. You will truly be missed. God Bless.
