Dear Chonqsuk and Shannon,
I was so saddened to read the news today that Dave had died. I was his cribbage partner for several years and always looked forward to those Wednesday nights. He sense of humor made even the slowest games and all of those games we lost fun to play. But of the stories he told the most were of his family, he was so proud of you Shannon you could see it in his eyes when he talked about you. Chonqsuk his love for you was so clear in the way he spoke about you. I never had the pleasure of meeting you but through all those Wednesday nights I became to know you a bit through Dave. He will be deeply missed by so many.
