Amy and Heather I am so sorry I was not in town and was unable to see you today. Your mom and dad were such an important part of our early lives. Tom and I spent many wonderful times with them and Dave was Tom's best man at our wedding and Amy was our flower girl. Dave sure made us laugh a lot and had a heart of gold. I sure do miss those days! Sending my love to you both. It's just not fair how much Dave went through and I know it has been a very difficult for you two as you have been through a lot these many years. Your mom and dad loved you with all their hearts. Thinking of you always.

I have very fond memories of Dave when we worked together at Bill Hawkey and associates. He was a real spitfire that many truly enjoyed.
So sorry for your loss.
