Not sure what to say?

I am deeply saddened by the news of David's passing. He was a dear family friend and I have very fond memories of him. He and Karen were very good friends to my late father. He will be missed. Xoxo

David was a friendly and helpful presence in our quiet cul de sac and we always enjoyed talking with him; we will certainly miss him. Our thoughts are with Karen, who steadfastly nursed him back after two serious medical issues; his son Aaron; bright and handsome grandsons Talon and Gage; and other family and friends who grieve this great loss.

I credit Dave with helping launch my career. He was the one who first hired me into Harris Corporation in 1987. He was fun to work with and he helped to introduce levity when things got tense. It was fun planning our annual banker's meeting with Dave and finding ways to entertain and educate our bankers, all the while poking fun at them.

David was a great uncle, even though we didn't get to see one other as much as I would of hope, I will never forget the great times he showed me when I came to visit, I will always keep those memories in my heart. Rest in peace Uncle David.

I am so sorry for your loss! He was a fighter and is in a much better place now. Please give a hug to Talon and Gage for me.
