I think about you and, when I think of something I know you'd love while I'm driving, I talk to you like you were riding shotgun. Forever missed

Sorry for such a late acknowledgement but we just learned of Dave's passing. Our condolences to Dave's wife and family. My husband and I both graduated with Dave in 1977. I always thought he was such a sweet and caring man. It's obvious from his obituary that he was indeed a very caring person and brought happiness to many. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.

I have met many families working in the ICU's at Froedtert, but your family was just special to me. I thought of Dave and you even on days when I wasn't working. I'm so sorry things didn't turn out better, but I guess it just wasn't meant to be. You are a great family and you will get through this sad time. Prayers and hugs to all of you. Love, Willa
