Dave was such a nice guy. Haven't seen him for 50 years, but he was our very tall and kind cousin who passed out Christmas gifts at Grandma and Betty Ahern´s Christmas dinners. His wife Lucy was one of the nicest people I´d ever met. I´m sorry I've never met Patrick.
Rest in peace Dave. You´ll be enjoying the company of your wonderful dad Uncle David and your awesome sister Nancy!
