Have always known 'of' Dave for years and years (growing up in the area) - poked my head into an open house where he had a house on the market and inquired about a rental-before that he let us in to see the house that my mother was raised in so many years ago- we weren't prospective buyers- just travelling back through time to get a rare glimpse to match mom's childhood stories of growing up on 'the farm' - for the past 5 yrs I've gotten to know him and his family- the generosity, kindness and love they have for life and the people they deal with on a day to day basis- Rare and special these qualities are in life- so blessed I have been- Much peace and love for the coming days to all of his family- God Bless
