David G. Gauvin

He was a good Uncle

Well I knew Dave in the mid 80's when I worked for Peabody N.E. Geart man a lot of fun. At the time I would call him affectionately Friar Tuck. I would call him a friend and don't call many friend.

He is my uncle

On our trip to Ireland back in 2002, in a Dublin Irish bar called The Barge, the Uncle Buck Shuffle was born. David had a big belly back then and was on the dance floor after a few cognacs and started shaking his belly with his hands to the beat as he strutted across the floor. There were some young, local, Dubliners in that bar as well that David and I befriended as you do in Ireland hobnobbing with the locals, and this
one irish girl started shaking her belly walking along in the same fashion. It was one of the funniest things I've seen. I called it The Uncle Buck Shuffle.
David and I had so much fun on that trip and he took such great care of my parents, looking out for all of us on it as well....it's just one of many great memories I have of him. Rest easy Uncle David. You were one of a kind and I'll miss you.

Thank you for your service to our country, Sir. Job well done and it´s now time to Rest In Peace. May God Bless You and your family.

I remember when Mom passed on, Uncle David made sure that he waited around at the graveside for Erik Snell to come and pay respects. Then he brought him to the party at Auntie Rita's house. He didn't have to do that but I am so glad he did. I am going to miss him so much.
Love Kathy (Gauvin) Steinberg, Danielle Gauvin, Erik Snell and Kelsey (Gauvin) Steinberg.
