I had the pleasure of meeting Dave & Carol on Memorial Day waaaay back. They invited me to the Marine Corps League meeting and also the Woman Marines WA2 chapter. Well, I was hook and so was my husband, Kay. We all took part in the Funeral Detail, Coffee Stops, Crain's Road Raiders (hwy 395) and many other group projects. We were all family. I miss Dave and Carol. Dave played the harmonica beautifully for the joy of others and had a wonderful tenor voice. It was also a pleasure to pair up musically with him for many special events. God has taken back Dave & Carol, but they are in the hearts of many. A photo I'm looking for is one we both took when we dedicated our spouse's Flags to the Eastern Washington Ntl Cemetery @ Medical Lake. I'm so glad Carol was assigned to his desk when we went overseas, because he came back and was rewarded with her.

I met Dave at Affinity. He sometimes showed up for Happy Hour, sat at the end of the bar and greeted each person with a friendly gesture. One day, he was in the hall gripping his walker and saying, "I can't take this pain." I helped him to his room, explained that I was the resident massage therapist. I worked on his hip, repositioned pillows for his comfort, and applied ice. He was grateful and warm with his response to my work. On the day he left Affinity, his daughter came to my door with a box of chocolates. Dave wanted to say thank you again, she explained to me. A gracious man suffering from wounds from the war. He touched my life and I am richer for it. Rest in peace, Dave. No more pain. Millie Hynes

Dave & Carol were the first to recruit us to the Marine Corps League, at that time we were not married, but I was invited to all the gatherings, and welcomed with open arms! Such graceful people I am happy they are together again. Semper Fi

Dave, you taught me to "play to a singer's voice". Thank you for all the duets we performed. God Rest Your Soul and give Carol a hug for me. Semper Fi to you both
