To Carol and Family, my thoughts and prayers during this time. I have such great memories of Dave from back in the late 80's at St. Joseph Church. He was a good friend to me and will never be forgotten. He loved his family more than anything and did so much for the youth group at St. Joseph's. May Dave rest in peace and I pray he is with the Lord he served throughout his life.
