Dave was the Only decent father figure in our lives when we were kids. He was always kind and compassionate with us and with his own children. I will always hold a special place in my heart for Uncle Dave.

Papa, it's hard to believe that a year has passed since you've been gone from us. Not a day goes by that you are not in my thoughts. I want you to know that that your girls are ok. It's not been easy by any stretch, but we have tried to be strong because that's what you would want for us. I think you would be proud.
Throughout this past year, I've been looking back & remembering all of the fun, silly adventures that we had growing upRocky Hill Fairs, outdoor concerts, lots of Red Bus trips, P-town, camping in Canada with the mosquitos, adventures with Goliath, my Halloween pumpkin, my 1st 2-wheel bike that you fixed up & put the sparkly banana seat on & painted, going to Auntie & Uncle Al's the long way so we could see what the doll in the window was wearing & so many more. You did so much to make us all happy.
I love & miss you so very muchmore & more every day & hope you can hear me talking to you. Thank you for everything, thank you for being you & bringing me up to be me.
All my love, Always

Dear Dave
I didn't know you well, but I do know your daughter, Patti. I hear she is a lot like you, and as the saying goes 'like father, like daughter' you must have been an amazing dad.

Though we knew each other for only a brief period of time, I'll always remember your humor and generosity towards me. And I've gotten to know you more and more through Rob, Mom, and Patti. I'm here for them when they need me, though they miss you dearly. They are doing well. With love, thank you so very much.

Papa,
It's been almost a year and I miss you more today than before. You gave me the best life, I cherish each moment I spent with you. You taught me love and commitment to family and friends, kindness, respect, compassion, and responsibility.
You were always there for me, and allowed me to learn and grow on my own.
I thank you, I will love you forever and you will always be in my heart.
Love you, The little kid
