I will remember Dave for his thoughts and support of others. I also loved his outlook on golf when we played and how how he kept it in perspective with the big picture... also the great shots when they happened...

Dave, you were the only male friend I have ever had. You had a kindness and caring that very few ever achieve in a lifetime. I know you are going to have the biggest mansion Heaven has to offer. You will always be remembered and will have a special place in my heart.
