Seeing your smiling face here is so bittersweet since you are no longer with us. Hard to believe it is four years since you left this earth. But you are not forgotten, I think of you often and wish you were here. But Heaven truly is a better place these days, one day we will meet again, Dear Friend, David. I hope my Lab Eddie found you and meets up with you there in Heaven.❤

I am just finding out about the loss of my dear friend Dave. I only knew him for a few years but he touched my heart by how special, kind and happy he always was. Such a devoted family man, always talking about the love for his wife, his children and grandchildren... even their dogs! I hadn't heard from him since Christmas and in running around myself, caught up with life, let too much time pass. I now feel so guilty, life is too short. We were supposed to get pizza... I wanted him to meet my new puppy... I am devastated at the loss of my friend. God Bless You David, I hope you can somehow know what a special friend you were to me and that I thought of you always, I am so sad we didn't get to say goodbye and get that pizza! Rest in Peace Dear friend. With love and prayers, your friend, Jackie Kane

When I think of your Dad, I smile. He always showed concern in regards to how other people were doing. He always enjoyed family gatherings in CMCH. What a testament to you and your family to have had such a wonderful role model. He is with your Mom now and forever be watching over you!
