Karen,

I was saddened and shocked to hear about the sudden death of Dave. To have even met him one time was to love him. He was truly a wonderful man and our hearts break for you and the family. What a great example he was to all of us joy of life, friendship, and faith! Our prayers are with all of you.-- Dan and Pat Cheely
