Dave and family,
We are so sorry for your loss. Your father was a wonderful man. I enjoyed many fond conversations with him, sometimes in the stands but mostly up against the fence during the football games. He was always in good spirits and loved to watch his grandchildren, playing any and every sport. We will all miss him. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and yours. God Bless.
