Dear Patty and family, our thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time. I know it's been a long time coming, but it's still a profound wallop, and my heart goes out to you. Lew and I cherish the memories of sailing with Dave back in the early 70's, and of spending our first New Years Eve together at a party at your yacht club. Dave was my dad's (Bud Robinson) first and always friend, so was part of our family. He will be missed. Love, Lew and Jeanie

Dear Patty, Greg & Alma, Nancy, Rhonda and Steve,
We will always have fond memories of Dave and his goofy laugh and love of life. Personally, my Dad, Bud, and I had many great sailing trips with Dave and Greg, so my memories of Dave are even more special.
Your entire family carries on his love for life and laughter - a great legacy for anyone to leave!
Best wishes always,
Nancy Robinson Bentsen Clayton (Nan)
PS - Go Bears!
