Memories of happy times and family stories are dear to me. Oft-told by Joe were:

When he shared an apartment with Dave and Sara while John was in Korea,

How Bett loved standing on her head and doing cart wheels

The thrill when the boys found a pocket knife in the toe of their Christmas stockings.

My life has been enriched by having Dave as my brother-in-law. I've always appreciated his having our wedding rings engraved, and the times we had together,

His has been a life well worth celebrating. Not only for the professional care he gave his patients, but for those fortunate to have had their lives touched by him.

Love,

Angeline
