Dear Family,

I am saddened by the loss of Dave. I only saw him last week and we spoke briefly. He told me that he wasn't driving anymore due to his age and we both laughed. He was always one of my dad's favorite employees. And I loved to talk to him about the horses, cattle and truck driving. He was a great person and was always in my heart.
