We were so sorry to hear of Dave's passing,and want you to know you are all in our thoughts and prayers in the days to come. I know he is no longer suffering, and I am sure that he and PaPa Soles are catching up on old news. I remember his friendship to Terry during his sickness, and his help after Terry's death. He will be remembered by alot who knew him. Curt, your like a son to me, and know that I am thinking of you during this time, along with your mom, Brian and Haley.....always...
