Not sure what to say?

My sincere condolences on the loss of your father.

Old school gentlemen who I had the pleasure of meeting through the Dante Club. Many nights playing pitch in Dapper Goyette's league as well as bocce. Dave and his crew epitomized friendship. Always a smile and a kind word to say. RIP

Thinking of my Uncle Dave today. Some of my best memories growing up were of our family trips, Fourth of July celebrations, and Christmas parties. I´ll carry those memories with me forever. Rest peacefully, Uncle Dave. You´ll always be missed.

I was fortunate enough to have known Dave through our mutual allegiance to the Dante Club and what I am now sure is his respect for the Exposition Area Alumni Scholarship Fund, a nonprofit organization founded by members of the Dante Club 58 years ago. Dave's generosity and selflessness are reflected in the request for contributions in his memory to be made to the Scholarship Fund, and we are honored by his longtime, enduring support.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. So sorry for your loss.
