Daddy, there isn´t a day that goes by that I don´t think of you. Remembering all of our time together, our laughs, smiles, jokes, songs, games and the times that we helped get each other through.
I know you would be proud of the person I am today, I have accomplished so much with you in my heart, always still trying to make you proud. I carry your picture with me on all my travels so I can see your face there with me still. The hardest parts are when I still have a first instinct to call or text you when finding myself in places I know you would have loved to have seen. Send Tony, Lola, Rocky and Sharky my love. I miss you all and can´t wait to see you again. You are my heart & spirit.
With all my love, Krystle.

My Dad was the type of man that always had everyones best interest at heart, he would give you the shirt off his back if he thought you needed it. He was my Best Friend for 27 years and someone that I always looked up to.
He was never afraid to speak up for a cause and would donate 110% of his time, skill, and heart to his neighbors and community to accomplish a goal that would benefit our neighborhoods for years to come. Because of my Dad's hard work and strong beliefs that we all deserved to live a in a healthy and sound neighborhood, South Bay has a water treatment plant that helps keep sewage out of our homes and valleys.
I will always cherish his big smile, silly jokes, warm heart, and the many memories that we shared together. I will always be listening for his whistle of " This old man" in the sounds of the wind. Ive never loved anyone more and will miss him everyday till we can be together again.
I love you Daddy

I worked with Dave from 1994 to 1998 on the "South Bay Focus Group" to improve conditions in the Tijuana River Valley. He was totally dedicated. A really nice guy. There should be something to memorialize his devotion. There's a bridge dedicated to Danny; there should be something for Dave.
