Not sure what to say?

My all my memories are filled with him and Eva always having breakfast with them, my mother would clean their house and they would make me feel like part of their family i will always cherish and remember them always

Dear Eva, Julia and Russell,

I interviewed Dave for a podcast. I think it is safe to say that Dave was by far the best guest we have had on our show. He is an inspiration to us, the embodiment of an explorer. And a bloody good story teller. I only wish, we had the chance to talk to him more. His was a life well lived.

My condolences for your loss. And rest in peace Dave.

Dear Eva and family. I am a journalist and author in London. I am so sorry for your loss. I interviewed Dave for a book I have been writing. He was helpful, amusing, and full of extraordinary anecdotes about the Rover Boys. I finished the book late last year, and was so sorry to hear that Dave had passed away and would not be able to enjoy seeing what he had helped me produce. The book was published in the UK last week. Please allow me to send you a copy. It is called "Dictatorland:...

Dear Eva, Caroline, Julia and Russell,
How fortunate you were to have had Dave as a husband and father...so wickedly smart and funny and completely dedicated to you all. I am so very sorry for your loss but I am grateful that you had him for as long as you did. You are in my thoughts.
Much love,
Sue Barnum

We're so sorry for your loss, Eva and family. He was so helpful to us when we were building our home here in Santa Fe. Dave, the geologist, pointed out to me, as I was out "rockulating" ,that we had every kind of stone! Yes, we will remember him with a smile every time we are outside in our stone gardens. Fondly, Karen and Jerry Fornell

The Kingstons are my second family. We grew up together, right around the corner from each other, them on Holly and us on Valerie, in Houston. Mr Kingston always had a good story about his adventures, and the occasional stern warning for us, but he usually left us up to our devices as we rampaged the neighborhood. As I grew up, he wasn't as scary to meanymore, and that's when I discovered his wicked sense of humor. He will be missed, but he had a life well lived. I send love and best wishes...

Ah, what a Life-Lived!!! We enjoyed each and every wonderful conversations!
So many great memories over the past few years. Fred & Joyce Evans T T T
