Dave was my uncle and good friend, he had a great heart and was always very caring and loving. We had some great times going fishing, swimming, listening to music and hanging out. He was more like a big brother than uncle, I will always hold your memory close and dear...we had some great times causing a lil bit of trouble, but not too much. I love you Dave, rest in peace!!
