"Occasionally, as we tread through life, we are blessed with the opportunity to meet someone who is truly exceptional. I had the pleasure of the gift of Dave Hale’s friendship. Not just a man, Dave was a giant when it came to caring about others. From neighbors to co-workers and employees, Dave’s instinctive mission was to make things better for others. Humble philanthropist, creative thinker, hard worker, ethical friend. What more can I say? He will be greatly missed." — Tim Murtaugh, CEO, Smart Plastic
