So sorry to hear about the loss of Dave. He would have loved the obituary. He may have even written it!

The best brother-in-law in the whole wide world. More a brother than an in-law for sure. Loved so much for so many years a part of the Gimben family. He was taken from us all too soon, but we were so lucky to have had him in our lives.

David, I'm sure you are chuckling as you look down and peruse your obituary. An inspiration to all of us who are tired of pathos and cliches.
