I truly can´t believe it´s been 7 years since you have been gone. I miss out 3 hour conversations, your laugh, your kindness and most of all your love. I think about you daily and will never forget the amazing memories we had together. I love and miss you!
Memory:
I will never forget the time you thought Benji´s bacon strips was real bacon. You took a huge bite and swallowed it. Then everyone started laughing and told you that was a dog treat. You got so mad!! We laughed for a long time about that! Or on holidays it was always freezing in our house, Grandma was always turning it up. My dad would come and yell who turned the heat up? No one said anything, we all just laughed!

It's been 5 years and I think about you every single day. I have cardinals that come visit every day and I know that you are one of them. I often wonder why you left us so soon? I know you are in a much better place in heaven, however, it doesn't make it any easier knowing you are gone. I do know that you are happy drinking you miller lite and hanging out with Grandma and Grandpa! Just know I love you very much.....until we meet again... Love, Kim

Uncle Dave. I have some amazing, funny memories of him from way back. I am focused on the happy times to help me get through this very hard time in my life. I loved his love for his family, bocce ball, Miller Lite, darts, mowing the grass, washing his cars. Such a stand up and honorable man. He is forever loved and will be forever missed. I love you uncle Dave. I hope grandpa and grandma are having a blast with you!

My deepest sympathy for your loss. Even though we never socialized I have considered Dave a friend for years. I followed him from one dealership to another and would have done so forever because of his honesty, integrity and innate goodness. We shared many laughs together and I'm grateful to have been touched by his very bright light.

So very sorry for your loss. I am at a complete loss for words that would help heal the pain of this. I can only say that I am truly sorry to see this really good man gone too soon. I only met Dave a couple times, but he went out of his way to make me feel welcome. Those things stick with you when someone is that nice to you. I will miss him.
