How are you doing Lisa? I think of you and Dave often. He will be missed for his smile and his kindness. We still have "baby Dave". He always played sports games with my boys. They loved him!
As did many. RIP Dave. You´ll always be remembered fondly by those who were lucky enough to know you.

I know this is very late in coming, but I was unaware Dave ("Blue") passed away. And most certainly way before his time. I used to room with Dave and played on the Ravens back in 1985-1986. Although I knew him briefly, I can still see his smile and the sparkle in his eyes - he was a great person and a great friend. I am shocked and saddened at hearing of his passing. May he R.I.P. and his soul live on forever to everyone he touched in life. My sincerest condolences to the entire family. Pat ("Patman") Mallory

Dave was a great acquaintance and friend. His dry sense of humor always brightened the day. We will always remember him with a great deal of fondness and respect.

I'm so very sorry for your loss. My Dad used to tell me all the time how much Nancy loved Dave. He said that Dave was very helpful and kind. Lisa, I can't imagine your loss. Dave was so excited to tell me he married you. I'm still shocked that he is gone. As long as I've known him, he was always kind and a great person. He will be missed by many. May he Rest In Peace. My sincere sympathy, love and prayers to all of you.

Sorry to hear about Blue. So many great memories of Blue (Rugby, Golf, Shenanigans) that bring a smile. He had a great heart and soul. See you on the pitch in the next life pal!
