To Dan, Dale and the entire Dolph universe my thoughts are with you.
There is no shortage of sadness during these times, but I know you have memories and stories to help soften that.
I hope you share them with others and speak of Dave often.
I have a few Dave memories of my own. All remembered fondly.
All make me smile. That said, I am truly sorry for your loss.
