I miss you more than words can say. We were ourselves behind closed doors, the long rides, and enjoying the day together. You had nothing horrible to say about your family, friends or the women you were married to. You taught me, how the past doesn't want you and the future needs you in today for tomorrow. You gave me much need rest in my life, unconditional love, joy, and you made great coffee and since you've been gone - I only had one good cup, Bonnie made it, after the hurricane on the grill, Cowboy coffee. Everyone is still in shock that you are gone from here, US. We miss you. I miss you and love you, DAC.

You couldn´t help but laugh and have fun if you were around Dave. He was my very first friend when I married Jody and moved to FL 46 years ago...Jody´s friend over 50 years. Those years hold so many happy memories. Best of all were our talks about our faith and mutual love for Jesus. Jody and I will miss Dave, but he left us with the assurance we´ll be with him again one day...lovin´ (eternal) life in our heavenly home!
