To Kathy and Dave's family, what a great loss for all of us, Dave will be missed by too many people to count. Always a smile, a chuckle and happy to share a moment with anyone. When you find yourself looking for him just look to the sky and find the brightest shinning star, for that twinkle in his eye is now a twinkle in the sky. Dave will surely watch over all of us, until we meet again.......
