I can't believe I am writing this, I cant believe your gone Dave. Seems like we lost touch so long ago, but I never forgot you. We shared lots of good times together. My mind goes racing back now thinking of that freezing cold night we spent in the white mountains in N.H. next to the damned ice house .

I also remember that very same night you got food poisoning and were sick as a dog... things that stick out in my mind. Remember Weymouthport Security, gosh it was so long ago and yet the memories are so clear. John's red van, all the fun times we had wish it never had to end. I remember when you put up my antennae and guaranteed me it would never fall and told me the story of how navaho's porch fell down but his antennae never did.... lots of laughs we had and I will never forget you.

To all Dave's family and friends my deepest sympathy and love ...

try to remember the good times xoxoxo

Gina, I just dont have any words. dave you were an excellent husband and friend to all of us. You were the pole of the household, and will always rememeber you yelling from the couch when Gina was on line with that great sense of humor. I wish i had the power to bring to back, but wil always remember the jokes we shared and the hilarity too. What a shock this was

Whereever you are i hope you are at peace, and Gina has a whole suppport group of friends and family and will be ok. Gonna miss you much, but life goes on, and you will NEVER be forgotten. Peace my friend, the pole, and rest eternally

To Where You Are



Who can say for certain?

Maybe your still here

I feel you all around me

Your memory so clear



Deep in the stillness

I can hear you speak

You’re still an inspiration

Can it be?



That you are mine

Forever love

And you are watching over

Me from up above



Fly, me up to where you are

Beyond the distant star.

I wish upon tonight to see you smile.

If only for awhile to know your there,

A breath a ways not far to where you are.



I dreamt of sleeping

Here inside my dream

And isn’t faith believing

All power can’t be seen



As my heart holds you

Just one beat away

I cherish all you gave me everyday



Cause you are mine

Forever love

Watching me from up above

And I believe that angles breath

And that love will live on

And never leave



Fly me up to where you are

Beyond the distant star

I wish upon tonight to see you smile

If only for awhile to know your there



A breath a ways not far to where

I know your there

A breath a ways not far to where you are.
