Dave was one of the greatest dads that I have ever known. He was by Brittany and my side through success and failure, through happy and sad, and through every successful moment of our softball carrers. He was always one of my biggest fans out on the field while playing ball for Sonoma State. I am going to miss his beautiful smile, hilarious jokes, and positive attitude. I love Dave so much and he was the greatest father to one of my best friends Brittany. I love you so much Dave. I know your going to be one of many angels up in heaven looking down on my forever. Tell my Grandma and Uncle I say HI in heaven:) I love you and am going to miss you so so so much!
