Missed by many....especially, by Nancy!!! Until one loses a spouse , one cannot identify with the profoundness of grief that occurs.....and will last into a lifetime.

Dick and I were so sorry to hear of Dave's illness and passing. We knew him through Nancy and found him to be a gentle, caring man.
Our condolences to Nancy and to Dave's family.
