My condolences to George and family. You knew that I enjoyed all of your company. I know he is in heaven. May GOD Bless. He was a very fine gentle man and a friend of mine for many years.
My heart is broken. Just learned of his passing tonight.

Dave,
Your bottle was not empty! You were just smiling so happily on your birthday! A new smile and new car, so much to look forward to. We never saw your leaving, coming! Missing talking to you and will remember those great times we spent driving to Miami and eating out every week! These last years you were constantly poking your nose around in the bible looking for truths! The lord must have said just bring you up already! Marlo said you went straight to heaven, no doubts are are there! Remember my words, shoulders back and chin up! Friend of 23 years and best neighbor, you will be remembered and missed always! I never met a person who didn´t like you! Let that´s your legacy, among my friends and your friends.
Love,
Ernie, Alessandra and One-J
