Not sure what to say?

Dear Wynkie,

It has been a very long time since we have seen each other. I spoke with a mutual friend this morning and she told me of your tremendous loss. I had not known you remarried. Having read the other tributes, he must have been a wonderful man and a great husband. I am so sorry he is no longer with you, but am happy you have been blessed to be married to a man with such a beautiful soul. I will try to contact you in the near future.
With deepest sympathy,
Helgi...

Dave was my boyfriend in high school. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. He was a wonderful man.

Dear Wynkie,
Tom and I are so sorry to hear that you have lost Dave. We have many fond memories of him, going way back to the Coast Guard years. He was a lovely man, and his loss will surely be felt by many.
Tom and Sue Carroll

To Wynki and Davids family I had worked with David for almost 10 years and have considered him my friend for 20 some years. I have lost a very good friend. I will miss him greatly.

Went to Towson High School with Dave but more than that he was like another brother because he came to our house in Loch Raven Village frequently as a teen. So handsome and so nice. We connected at some high school reunions and it was always great to catch up on our lives. So sad to know that his life ended so young and by such a horrible disease as ALS. Condolences to his family.

WE will miss you Dave.

For Wynki

Everyone in life I suppose, has someone of exceptional character, whom they hold as a standard to live up to. For me, that person has always been cousin Dave.

I was a young child when Dave came to live with us before going into the Coast Guard Academy. And when on leave he would return home and fill my mind with impressions, and possibilities, of a world far beyond my own. Those were formative years for me, and Dave’s impression on me was huge. Although I...

To Wynki and all of Dave's family,

I had the pleasure of working closely with Dave for several years at the Virginia Hotel in Cape May. We were colleagues but also friends and we got through our days by sharing plenty of laughs. I can hear his laugh now. Dave was a true gentleman and an excellent hotel controller. It was my pleasure to have known him.
