It's hard to know what to say. Dave was a customer of ours through St Anthony's and I always had a smile on my face after I got off of the phone with him. Just the nicest guy and we are all saddened and are going to miss him. I am going to especially miss his jokes and his humor. I am so sorry for your loss. May God comfort you and surround you with His grace and mercy.

Dear Dank's Family,
Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. May it be a source of inner strength to know that there's a loving God watching over you and family, and that, throughout this time of need, He'll stay close by your sides.
Dave was one of the nicest people,it was a pleasure knowing him. Dave will be greatly missed by me and my husband Greg. Greg played racquetball with Dave for many years, and I know that he will be missed each time that Greg plays, each time that there is a ball hit, I know that Greg will thinks about Dave and all the great time they spent playing their favorite game. I spent time in Tahoe with Dave and the racquetball group. Most of them would leave to go play horseshoes and Dave an I would stay at the house, sit outside and wait to see if we would see bears wondering through the meadows, we had some fun times. Dave will be missed. Our thoughts and prayer will be with your family at this great time of need.

Dear Danks family.... I grieve today with you. I went to the same gym as David and through conversations, noticed the caliber of person he was. He was kind, gentle, compassionate and someone I treasured, as he accepted me unconditionally. I'll never forget him and our tie died t-shirts we wore sometimes on the same day. He'd applaud me when I would leave the gym, (as a joke) with Charlie and his buddies, and it would make me BLUSH! But he made me feel special. David was a blessing to my soul. I KNOW the angels are rejoicing in Heaven at his arrival!!! And ya know.....I didn't know him well, but I knew him well enough to know he was A SPECIAL, PRECIOUS SOUL. David, I'll miss you and I'll see your face everytime I leave the gym!! I'll never forget you.
