In loving memory of Dave, Junior and I will have a tree planted. I wish that we could be home in these times, but cannot due to health issues. My heart is with you Ruth Ann and Katie. I will always miss the warm, loved feeling I got while being around Dave. Thank you Ruth and Dave for always caring to check in on my son and I, even after years of seeing you. David will be missed extremely. Especially by Katie´s friends.
Love always,

When they made Dave, they broke the mold, he was a truly extraordinary man. He had time for everyone, and never met a stranger. He welcomed me like a family member when I first met him. He gave out sage like wisdom and always had an old school cool way about him. The world lost a real one. To Ruth Ann,His children and grandchildren, I'm so sorry for your loss. Sending all the love.

Mr Rose was simply one of a kind. Very sweet and caring and never held judgement to anyone. Anytime he could help he was there. I admired how great of a husband and Father and Grandfather he was. Fly high Dave, your gonna be missed by many.

My grandpa was my protector and savior.... I love him more than any words can express.... He had a beautiful soul.... He loved being around his family and friends. He loved corvettes and Mo-town music... He always helped others even when he didn´t have to. He was a hard worker and enjoyed staying productive. I thank him for every single thing he has ever done for me and others. I love you PawPaw
