Also, as my godfather, Uncle Dave bought me the super coolest things. He once got me a slot car racing set that had a refueling area for the cars. If you didn't stop and 'refuel' every couple of laps, the car would stop until you put it in the refuel area for a bit. He also bought me a small boat (much bigger than me though) and cleverly christened it "Chris's craft"

I remember Uncle Dave walking around Glennie one summer frequently singing a lyric that I remember as "She's so animal" I may be misremembering it, but I do think it was a combination of a few different songs.
I also remember a ending a lot of conversations with him feeling his live and let live kind of mojo. Much appreciated, Uncle Dave, you will be missed.

David was a kind and loving cousin. He always had a smile, on his face, and was a joy to be around. Our childhood is filled, with many good memories. He will be greatly missed. Rest in peace, dear one.
Love, Cousin Karen (Grates) and Larry Nowczyk
