May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.
I remember running a snowmobile through Dave´s leg when I was 13 in the UP.
Before that was the pool parties.. where moms and dads passed a chalice around while all us kids went nuts. was wonderful times in my life.. a big group of friends and it was joyous. Dave let me shoot shotguns a ways out.. even learned how to play rabbit..
100 years is a blink.

Knew Dave since around the third grade or so. He was the most unjudgmental person I have ever known. We didn't always agree on everything but I always looked up to him. Say Hi to Tom for me
