Lucky are we, the ones that had the opportunity and pleasure to know Dave. His radiant smile and charming personality touched many lives. I am one of the blessed ones that knew Dave. My sympathy to all of the Grice Family members. May God bless you and keep you all strong during these trying times.

Dear David, Betsy, Buffy, Brandi, Madison and all Dave's many family members and friends (especially Shawn and Dawn),

I have thoroughly enjoyed having Dave as a neighbor! He lived life to the fullest. He was able to do so many things in one day that many people do not accomplish in a year. He cared for everyone he came in contact with and showed them by his actions. I know that we all will see him again one day in Heaven and then and only then will we know God's purpose for his death.

God bless each and everyone!

Dave lived a golden life. His years

were rich as anyone's, though he died young. No one lived more, though he did not live long, his life was large enough to hold our tears. He had a smile you'd see a mile away. He took to life like a kid in a candy store. He was the best of us. We are forever going to miss you. My heart goes out to all of his family and friends especially to young Maddison. All of you are in our prayers.

Dave was the light in each room he entered.....his laughter, sparkle in his eyes, love for family, devotion to Madison were incredible. To Betsy and David, I extend my prayers, beautiful memories and love. May God hold you in His hands and comfort you. May you find peace in the knowledge that Dave was loved by everyone he knew and every life he touched.

I met him only once, while going to school in New Jersey. In that short time he struck me as a very nice and honorable young man. I can not begin to understand the pain your family is going through. Our thoughts and prayers are going out to you. May God ease the anguish and pain you are feeling and leave you with the cherished memories of a fine and honorable young man. God Bless you and your family in this time of loss.

Dave, Sr. and family...I remember Dave, Jr. as a child and how he loved his DAD. I send you my deepest sympathy and prayers. "I want you to know what will happen to the Christians who die so you will not be full of sorrow...Jesus died and was raised again...and when Jesus comes again, God will bring back with Jesus all the Christians who have died." I Thessalonians 4:13b-14b We will see him again.
