Dave was a customer at the auto mechanic shop where I work in Port Jefferson Station. We got a chance to talk and laugh a bit last month, as he always did. My coworker and I are so saddened by this. He was a down to earth person and will be missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and all who knew and loved him.

My Dearest Beirne, Hoover, and Cross Families, I still wake up every morning not believing this is true. David's loving personality, his laugh and his incredible sense of humor will live on in all the stories we will continue to tell over and over as the days and years go by. He touched us all in an indelible way. I know I am a better person just for being lucky enough to have had him in my life. Please know that the Aune and Douglas families are here for you now and always. I love you all with all of my heart. Sincerely, Elizabeth Douglas and Family

2 Corinthians 5:6-8 So we are always of good courage. We know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord, for we walk by faith, not by sight. Yes, we are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord.
