Dave was a fine gentleman and a welcome help to a new "butter bar" in Zweibruecken. I know he will be fondly remembered by many and hope that thought will bring comfort during the coming days.

Uncle Dave, your life was shared with myself and our family when you vowed to love, honor and respect our beloved Aunt until the end. So many memories that mere words cannot begin define who you were. Your eternal rest was well earned. I will always love and remember you.
