Dave you will be truly missed, the love and care that you always gave and showed my family and myself its irreplaceable. You are the grandpa that we didn't have growing up. The support you gave my parents and the confidence to help them raised us. Thank you for always showing us the true meaning of love and care. For helping us and looking out for us no matter what. I love you with all my heart until we meet again in paradise.

Dave will live forever in my heart. He will be missed my all but his memory will live on. His laughter would fill a room and he was always interested in how others were doing. I love you Dave and I love how you cherished my sister Kay-La. She loved you the most. Until we meet again. Fly high!!
