Bruce, Diane and family, Condolences from the Kelleher family on your loss. I heard the disturbing news this morning of Dave's passing. He was always a good person, always engaging in conversation, at The Egg & I / The Roost or out in the community. His engaging spirit will be missed.

I’m so sorry I couldn’t be there today. You were a dear friend of mine and I am so grateful for the opportunity to know you. I adore your family and wish I had the opportunity to hug them again. Thank you for having my family and I at the cape a few years ago. I will never forget that trip or our fun times. I love you kid. Never forget that. Until we chill again! Xoxoxo
