To say I love and miss Dave is an understatement. Our friendship was the only reason I transfered to Fresno. Dave was a rare Life-Force, the type of person you only meet once in a life-time.

I was so sad to hear of Chief's passing. When I was new to the unit, he was so helpful to me, and he always had a kind word or just a bright smile for me. What a wonderful man. My prayers are with you, Deb, and your kids. I know I'll always believe I see him out on the patio when I pass by.

How can I describe the grief I feel over the loss of Dave? We were raised, not as Uncle and Nephew, but at brothers..we were not that far apart in age. We grew, and learned and went out separate ways in the early 60's. I went into the Army and he in the Air Force. But, we always managed to connect to do a little hunting or fishing when we were both in town.
Over the years, as we both got busier and busier, we lost physical contact, but we were always in touch. The times my wife...

Deb, Michael, Heather & Zak,
With Dave's passing, I know that he is truly still with us wanting all of us to continue on with our life's and be happy.
He was a very special guy and we had some wonderful times together that I will cherish forever. I don't think anyone will ever forget the NOSE!
I feel truly blessed that I was part of his life for 30+ years, and that I was given the honor of helping out during his last days.
My love...
