I'm never going to forget everything you "tried" to teach me dad. You know I'm too girly for that dirty car stuff. I'm going to miss being able to just call or message you about anything whenever I wanted to .... No matter what time it was. You were always there for me, Christine & Sam. I miss you so much & my heart aches. I love you...Love, Missie

We will never forget you and the kindness you had for others, always trying to help family and friends in their time of need. This is David's time to meet with his Father and brother in heaven and past friends and family that are waiting for all of us. He will be missed and I will miss him coming to my home to visit as all of his family will also. We will see you soon David for our time is short on this earth. You have been a great brother-in law. Your family misses you deeply. God Bless and we love you.
