Uncle Dave you were the best. From seeing you often at Nana and Grampy´s in Swampscott/Lynn regularly to family get togethers and weddings more sparingly later in life - we never skipped a beat. You were the life of the party and who we could talk to about anything. You are and will be missed so much. See you on the other side. <3 you

Though I haven´t seen you in a long time, I think of you all the time.
I remember taking you with me for my driving lessons when you were
3 or 4 yrs.old. Mom was exhausted all the time, I took you with me everywhere to give her a break....... It saddens me that we were once six.
Now there are only three of us left, I´ll miss you.......

As I sit here in New Hampshire looking at all the snow, I remember back when were young, how Dave, John, Mark and I would go outside and play tackle football in our yard, in the snow. The game would last until someone would start crying and left the game. I miss those days. I miss all of my brothers. Rest in peace, Dave
