Dave you will never know the pain of losing a brother and for that I am glad. You left us to soon brother and that pai,n is hard to live with. We went through alot together you and I. Good times and bad. You at times was my bestfriend, a pain in my butt, alot of fun always the fearless one and usually the one that got us in trouble. You also was the best brother. Life wont be the same without you. You will live on in Jake, Jess and your Grandbabies. And with that I take some comfort. I hope you left this earth knowing how much you were loved. Always in my heart little brother and never forgotten. Your brother Dale
