No matter how many years go by this day never gets any easier to bare. We all know it´s coming as the month of May comes to and end, and yet the pain and the hurt are not as strong as this day 18 years ago, it´s still there. It still hurts and it still wears on our hearts. No amount of time can erase our love our or memories and the ache deep in all of our hearts. You are always with us Dave. Always. Ever present in soul and our hearts and our minds and our favorite memories. That will never change. Love & miss you terribly. Rest in eternal peace Uncle Dave. Until we meet again.

Dave, goodness do we miss you! We sure felt your presence (as always). How you would have loved this get together we had to celebrate Brian & Sharon´s 50th wedding anniversary. We had laughs and some tears thinking of you and remembering you. I know you know all this already. I am confident you were there in spirit. The years are flying by, but the heart ache remains. You remain an ever constant in our lives and in our hearts. We reflect on these last 16 years and are still saddened at not having you physically here with us, but we are oh so grateful for the time we did have with you and for the joy you left in our hearts. Loving you and missing you forever.

Happy belated Birthday Uncle Dave. Sorry we didn´t post on your actual birthday on Sunday. You were so much on our minds as we were watching the Super Bowl that day. You know we are thinking of you always. How we miss watching football with you. We sure wish we could have celebrating your birthday with you. We love you & miss you immensely. We will forever feel the void of your absence.

Uncle Dave, here we are 9 days away from the day you physically left us here on Earth 15 years later. It still feels like yesterday but also feels so long ago. As Brian & I sit here watching the Rangers playoff game we were just reminiscing about a Rangers game back in approx. 1998 in our basement apartment where you got so excited that you put your fist through the drop down ceiling. we loved watching Mets, Jets and Rangers games with you. We love you & miss you everyday. Until we meet again know that you are forever in our hearts. #LetsGoRangers #LetsGoMets #LetsGoJets

Uncle Dave,
It's hard to believe that 12 years have gone by without you. In some ways it seems longer and in some ways it seems shorter but still not much easier. You left an enormous hole in our lives and our hearts. We have never become hole again. You were always the most anticipated arrival to our home. Your presence just made everything better and way more fun. Your smile was infectious. We miss the simple things with you. Just having you around or having you come visit. Always a good time with lots of laughs and memories. We hold these dear to our hearts. Brian and I always wish that Brianna and Nicholas had gotten to spend more time with you, but they remember you from our stories. We always talk about you and you are ever present in our home. There are pictures and reminders of you everywhere. It makes us feel like you are still with us. We know you are. We just wanted to let you know that even though 12 years have passed since we saw your handsome face and heard your laugh we still love and miss you every day. 100 years can pass and that will never change. Know we are always thinking of you, loving you and missing you.

February 19, 2010
Dear Dave and my Foxes,
I just want you to know that I think of and experience Dave's spirit every single day. He makes his presence known to me regularly in the most spritual and unbelievable ways. He was, is, and always will be the only being that ever really knew me and for that I am immensely blessed. He continues to motivate me in the most beautiful and mysterious ways. Thank you for being a part of his life, for it is largely because of your love for him that his love lives within me. I love you all and think of our connection daily. David, I know when you visit. You absolutely and completely rock. I am a more productive being because of you. Please rest in peace. It's all good.
Chrissy.
PS: Good night, sweetheart.

Uncle Dave,
I miss you now more than ever. I cant believe you are gone 2 years. Hey the Mets look good. I miss your pessimistic views on our sport teams. I remember how much fun we used to have watching those Knick playoff games in your apartment in east patchogue. I miss you
Say hello to Grandpa and Dad.

Dave,
I can't believe it's been two years. Sometimes it feels like it was only yesterday. I think about you all the time. I miss you, I miss your quick wit and sense of humor. We were saying today how you and Bobby shared the same sense of humor. I find comfort in thinkng that you, Bobby and Dad are together. We love and miss you all!

Dave,
I wish more than anything in this world that i was enjoying your birthday with you with the usual jokes and laughter that we shared. To this day i look at my cell phone when it rings and hope to see Dave Fox or LAS NY. That tuesday morning when we spoke has been a conversation i replay everyday of my life. I wish i was the friend you needed as you always were to me. The sadness and missing feeling i had that day is still with me today, it is so hard to walk back to a golf cart and not have someone say "what was that, get in ". The friendship we shared on the phone, golf course or a ball game is something that i miss and i hope you had as much fun as i did. I will have you know i have done my best to speed up the speed of play... Your memory is with me everyday.. Love your nephew and friend .. Brian

I know it's not your birthday yet but it's your birthday month. I couldn't wait to wish you a happy b-day...so happy d-day!! You are still here to me. I miss you and still, yes, still, think of you daily. You're my favorite being in the whole wide world. I will never abandon your memory. Miss you.

I wrote to you on Christmas eve but I guess I was too sad to hit the right buttons through my tears and my letter was never posted. I guess that's because you would not have wanted me to be so sad. This was a tough Christmas for me. Like you I feel very alone sometimes. We are never alone but at times we feel that way. I miss you a lot and want you to know how very much we all miss you. Take good care of Bobby and give him a big hug from all of us! Merry Christmas! Love and hugs, MaryLynn

Dave,
It's hard to believe another Christmas is upon us without you here. Although I think about you and miss you all the time it is much more prevalent at this time of year, when I think back to Christmas time when we were kids or the times you spent at our house for the holiday's or how about the times you played Santa Claus for the family Christmas party. Have a Merry Christmas in Heaven.
Love,
Joanne

I have had a trying couple of months. I wish so much you were here to talk to in person. I miss your blunt honesty, and humor you always displayed when I was going through a rough time. I will be ok because I believe you will be there to watch over me. I love you and miss you. I dont know If I ever told you that.

Uncle Dave,
For the past few years I have thought long and hard about what I could get you for Christmas that would show you how grateful I am to have you in my life. After searching high and how I realized that there is nothing in this world that could express how important you have been to me. So I guess the one thing I can give you is my words. I want you to know that your kindness and generosity has meant the world to me. However, I would give everything back to have one more chance to see and talk to you. More importantly I want to thank you for being such a kind hearted and loving uncle, friend and father figure. I love and miss you more than you will ever know.
Love Always,
Amy

David,
I can't believe I have not yet signed this book. Maybe that's because signing it means that I have to accept you are not here. I think about you every day and miss you more than words can say. You were such a special person.
I replay that last conversation we had, over and over again in my head. I just wish I knew it was going to be our last, because there were so many more things I would have said to you. I'll say them now and you can just listen from heaven. Big brother you are kind and loving and such an important person in my life. Your wittiness is so refreshing and your smile lights up any room. I wish you could see how beautiful you are, inside and out. I love you. The sadness you are feeling is not fair. Lean on me, I can help you.
Last year at this time, we had dinner with you in the city. We had such a great time. The girls loved seeing you, as did Pete and I. I would pay any amount of money to be doing that again this year. Instead, we skipped the city this year (the first time since Carly was born). We knew it would not be the same.
Dave, please help me work through the sadness I am feeling. It hurts so much to think that you were as sad as you were before you died. My faith in God has been severely tested. Please give me a hug from Heaven. Actually I could use one from Bobby as well. Please pass that along.
Missing and loving you!
your sister,
Karen

Dear David,
I was picking out Christmas cards the other day and as I often do I thought of you. I remembered how much you enjoyed and appreciated the simple things like receiving cards from friends and family. So I picked out a card for you that reflects upon the memories we shared as kids, how you can't choose your family and how lucky I am to have a brother like you (we all are). It speaks of how hard you worked and all the things you did for the people you love, what a wonderful person you had become, how proud I am to tell the world your my brother and even prouder to say your my friend. We love and miss you so very much. Wishing you and Bobby a "Merry Christmas" in heaven.
Love,
Joanne, Cliff, Matt and Kristen

Dear David,
I came across a picture of our first Christmas tree in Sayville. You were so proud. It didn't take much to please you.
Although a few months have passed since you left, I still feel as sad as I did on that day. I will never forget you. Never.
Love always,
Chrissy

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
