Happy birthday dad. I wish you were here so you could have met Elayna. She doesnt have any grandpas and that just makes me unbelievably sad. You loved babies and you loved us all so much, I know you would have loved her just the same.it makes me want to cry... Shes such an angel. Theres a part of me that wonders if you helped pick her out up there for me. Shes so happy and I just wish she could have known you. Writing here makes me feel like maybe youre reading it even though I know that sounds silly. I think about you every day and I always talk about you. I bet you thought people would move on...just get over it eventually..but we havent man. You were the coolest. So anyway.. happy birthday I love you always. Ill pour a drink tonight and play a Tom Waits song for you. Your loving daughter ❤

I miss you every day, bro. You taught me alot about life and helped me through a rough time. I just wish I could have helped you more. I know you are at peace now, finally. No one tried harder than you. And you always managed to see the funny, ironic side of life. Your sense of humor was priceless. See you on the other side. Love, Mary

Its 5am and I cant sleep. I try and talk to you sometimes on my ride home from work but am only met with silence. I wish I could still hear your reassuring voice when Id talk to you about my problems. I miss your Im so proud of you honeys. I miss your bellowing laugh. That belly laugh youd do at the stupidest things. I got my sense of humor from you, but you know that. You were always in my corner, no matter what I decided I wanted to do. Having someone in your life like that is so special. Your love was unconditional and I feel your loss here every day. I wish I could just go back and take another trip to the Deli with you, then drive around and talk about life like we always did. Sometimes little things happen and I hope that its you saying hi, that youre not really gone. I miss you everyday and I love you dad. So much.

I grew up at 36 Ivy Road, in Ivy Knolls, across the street from the Voetsch family. My Dad and Mom, Doug & Eleanor Benjamin died when I was very young. I always remember after my Dad died in 1961 that the Voetschs and all the other neighbors in Ivy Knolls were very kind and thoughtful to our family. May God Bless all of David's family and may he rest in peace.

Thank you David. For everything. In the short time I knew you you taught me so much. I promise to always be honest and loving to Becca. You raised her with love and you are her rock. I'll never forget you. You should also be so proud of Dan. He's strong just like you and it's admirable to see him helping keep the family together. I know you can see him. We got your message yesterday. And I'm sure you already know how thankful we all are for it. You were a strong man. And I hope you and my Dad are having a blast up there. I love you Dave.
