    Wow! I originally thought he was the owner.

    Doh…We just missed him by a couple weeks. About to have all the locks in our house replaced/re-keyed after a renovation. Happy to call on his successors, though.

    And I did not know that it was the oldest business in town. I kind of assumed that title was held by Sharian. Interesting.

    The only time I had to use these guys, once years ago, they were great. Glad they will still be around. Happy retirement!

    Best wishes to Mr. Cochran, and so glad Dec Lock & Key will stay around–Decatur is very lucky to have a genuinely local locksmith in town.

    I will miss Dave. I go in once every couple of months for this or that, and he is always patient, kind, and humorous. He’s made going to Decatur Lock & Key something I look forward to “having” to do, rather than dread.

    I’ve always had a wonderful experience at Decatur Lock and Key. And Dave was always kind, calm and efficient. I wish you well Dave. I hope you have a wonderful time in retirement and thank goodness the shop will stay open! Wouldn’t take my key and security issues anywhere else,.
