Uncle Dave was a kind and gentle man and I cannot believe he came all the way to Denver Colorado for Kristin's wedding. I do have a special memory to share. When I was a young girl, Dave and Lois were newly engaged and I was the kid that while they were sitting in the living room having a special kiss, I would run in and sit between them. I thought they were a perfect pair and always looked up to them! Love you Uncle Dave! I know you are dancing with the rest of the family in heaven! Save a place for us!
