Dear Uncle Dave,
We will miss you greatly and will often think of the fun talks about golf and German wines we've had with you fondly. We are so glad we have one of your custom made clubs and we will think of you every time we go golfing!
Love,

Emily Han

It has been two and one-half weeks since that terrible day. We see you daily in our lives, dad - rainbows over the neighborhood, a four-leaf clover and other little signs that you are looking over us. We miss you terribly. Much love, Laurie,Rachel and Emily

Dave, I'll always remember how welcome you and Pat made me feel in your home, and I regret that so many years have passed since we last met. You were one of the kindest, smartest, and quietly funniest people I've ever known, and I know you loved your family with your whole heart. My love and sympathy go to Pat, Janet, Laurie, Dan, Rachel and Emily. You will be sorely missed by them and by the rest of us who cared for you.

I am still in shock at the news of Dave's untimely passing. We have known each other since grammer school at Ash Street and at First Congregational Church in Manchester. Although we have not seen each other in many years, and I have not met Patti, Dave and I have been in e-mail contact over the past few years. I was eagerly looking forward to seeing him again and meeting Patti at our upcoming 55th high school reunion this October. Also, Dave had talked about visiting the Williamsburg, VA area to scope out a possible move to a warmer clime, where he could play more golf during the year. My husband suffered a stroke two years ago and survived with lasting effects on his right side. Dave's sudden death makes me realize that one must live each moment to the fullest, and I am sure he did from what I have heard. My deepest sympathy to Patti, Janet and Laurie.

Dad, you were the best. You were loving, happy, generous, patient, considerate, smart, fun, and funny. You were everything that most people only wish they could be. Thank you for always being there for me and for making me the person I am today. Thank you for all of the great memories. I'll never forget swimming with you in the big inner tube at Brown's Island, watching you make "widdle" blueberry pancakes, and learning how to draw a house on the big chalkboard. I’ll never forget how you bounced me on my bed so high that I thought I’d touch the ceiling. I’ll never forget laughing so hard when we watched MASH or Barney Miller together or how you called me Beebo. I’ll never forget how we tried to find the best onion soup and creme brulee on our trips to Europe and how you took such great care of Karlie. I’ll never forget all of the fun we had and I’ll never forget you, Dad. All my love, Janet.

What can we possibly say to ease the pain of your passing?
We will miss all the golf outings in Ga., your stories, the years of love and friendship we have had but most of all, we'll miss your presence. You have left a void that can never be filled. Goodbye Dave. Race with Jim again and play a round or two with Bob and Dad.
You have been a wonderful brother-in-law and friend. Our hearts go with you, Reg and Cheri

Daddy, we will always treasure memories of skating on Redd's pond, blueberry picking at Star of the Sea, feeding the ducks, climbing castle rock, and so much more. You gave us a storybook childhood. Rachel, Emily, Dan and I miss you terribly. There is a big hole in my heart. Your loving daughter, Laurie
