Dear Helen, Steve and all the family,
Dave was truly one of a kind. He was successful in life--in family, in business and in his many associations with others. In the words of his recent caretakers "Mr. Graffam is a wonderful man". He will be missed by many. With our deepest sympathy,

I am so sorry to hear about Dave's passing. I did not learn about it until Monday. He was one of my favorite people... always ready to offer a good word.
I worked hard to get him to say "that a boy" or "good boy"!
We will miss him.
