My dad is still somewhere sunny and warm, fishing on the boat, entertaining all of our lost friends and family, poking fun, cooking and entertaining. I love you.

I was so excited to see my Uncle Dave when I was on a plane to Florida. I like to think that I was his favorite niece (haha). I remember this day two years ago looking at all the great pictures of him on his boat. Those are some of my favorite memories along with him cooking his famous meals. I also remember the time he picked me up from the airport and we talked and had the best conversation the whole way. I love you and miss you Uncle Dave. Love, Kathryn

Uncle Dave was the person who took care of me when I came to Florida every year. I like to think I was his favorite niece (haha). I remember this day two years ago looking at all his pictures of him on his boat. Those were some of the best memories besides him cooking his famous huge meals. I love you Uncle Dave and miss you very much... Love, Kathryn

HOW DO YOU SAY GOODBYE TO A BROTHER THAT HAS BEEN WITH YOU YOUR WHOLE LIFE. WHEN THE PHONE RINGS I EXPECT IT TO BE HIM SAYING "WHAT ARE YOU DOING", OR SAYING "75 AND SUNNY" WHILE I AM IN THE MIDDLE OF A SNOW STORM. I'LL NEVER FORGET HIS LAUGH. I MISS YOU DAVE AND LOVE YOU. YOU WILL NEVER BE FAR AWAY FROM ANY OF US, ALWAYS IN OUR HEARTS. TILL WE MEET AGAIN, MAYBE TODAY.
I LOVE YOU,
JUDY
