Dear Aunt Dee and Family, We have just heard of the loss of Uncle Dave. Michael has many fond memories of him from his childhood and felt he was a special uncle to him.

Dear Aunt Dee and family. I just learned that Uncle Dave has gone home to be with the Lord. He was a man of tremendous depth and caring. I'll never forget some of the truly special moments we shared together on the field before and after our Minnesota vs. Purdue games. He was always a treasured mentor of mine and many others. You and your family can be so very proud of the legacy he leaves behind. Linda and I pray for God's strength and tender hand of comfort to bless all of you.
