Seven years and we think of you and you are in our hearts. Wishing you were here with us today, but a greater calling came to you - too early in life. I believe that you are looking down upon us and protecting us -a spirit guide for sure.
Thinking of you David -Kathy and Jim

Dave - you brightened our lives, shared your beautiful laugh and was our friend - thank you does not come close nor does heartbreak. You are missed, my friend and will always be remembered with love. My world was a far better place with you in it. Thank you for the time, friendship and laughter that you shared with us.

Bruce was my brother-in- law for 17 years and a friend for 21 years. He lived with Bernie and I in San Francisco for a short time. He did not adjust well to California, therefore he moved back to Sidney. We had many good times during our younger years. During the latter years, he was out of sight, but not out of mind. RIP Bruce!

I remember Bruce, from many years ago. Mostly what I remember is his smile and that he was kind. God bless.
