Aunty Ellie and girls,
Dwayne and I wished we could have been there this past weekend but certain circumstances allowed otherwise. Uncle Dave was not only a wonderful and caring uncle but as you know an incredibly loving husband, father and grandfather. We will cherish his memory for a long long time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time of sorrow. We do hope to see you maybe this summer. We love you all.

Aunt Ellie, Christine and Diane:

The news of Uncle Dave's illness came as a great shock, and his passing was of even greater. I will always remember the great times that were shared with him. He was a great man and he will be deeply missed.

My thoughts, prayers, and deepest sympathies are with you all during this difficult time.

Dear Ellie,

I was deeply saddened to hear about Dave's death. He was a wonderful neighbor and friend, smiling, warm, and caring. I will miss him very much.

Needless to say, he was never prouder or happier than when he talked about you, your children, and your grandchildren.

His passing must be devastating. I hope that the memory of Dave's loving and caring and admirable life will be a source of comfort and strength for you and your family.

To the Family, May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well-lived
