  • DEAR PAPPAS FAMILY, My condolences to both Sheryl & Mitchell. I must say , that I was completely stunned when I heard the news of Dave's passing. I've known Dave for 14 years. He was a strategic leader in the workplace and a man that really loved his family. Dave has been there for me in various ways during our time of working together. I'm still shocked but I understand this is apart of the cycle of life. Dave has made a huge impact in the lives of others and has left a lifetime of memories that both you and Mitchell can cherish for a lifetime.... I will greatly miss Dave and his Christmas cookies Shonda Jack
  • To Mrs. Pappas and Mitchell, my deepest condolences to you and your family. I am truly grateful that I had the opportunity to work with Dave. He was very caring and concerned about his metro family. Dave would always ask how is everything and if you ever needed anything dont hesitate to ask. Everytime I saw Dave I'd ask him how Mitchell was doing, I'm going to miss the talks we had out our sons. Dave you are truly missed. Sabrina M.
  • Dave was the first friend I made in the Lavonia office when I came to Metro, over the time we worked together I always knew I could count on him when I needed anything.

  • Mrs. Pappas and Mitchell words can not began to explain the love Dave had for you two. He spoke of you all the time. He used to share his life experiences every chance he had and he encouraged everyone around him to do the same. Sheryl, I remember when he told me about the day he proposed to you, it was like as he told the story he was falling in love all over again. Dave was more than a boss, he was a mentor, a friend, a caring person. He will be missed. I send my condolences to you and the family, may God bless you all and give you peace in this most impossible time. Marq. Washington
  • Dear Sheryl, Mitchell and Family, Please Accept my deepest condolences on the passing of Dave. He was a great listener, Teacher and all around leader. There were many times that I reached out to Dave in My career at MetroPCS and now Metro/T-Mobile and he would be sure to give me sound advice and direction. He was very dedicated to work and family very much so that anytime I called he was there to answer, and in passing dialogue he would make mention that family was doing well. I know that words will fall short of what you all may be feeling, however my Prayer is that you all in time find Comfort in the Many wonderful memories that we have all shared with Dave. God Bless!!

  • I may have only known Dave for 5 years, but as those reading this will most likely agree, it felt much longer. Dave had a gift of "knowing you" almost immediately. He brought out the best in people by caring enough to have the hard conversations while also being the first person to lift them up. He was a special person that I feel very blessed to have known and will never be forgotten. A Friend
