In some ways I was glad to get this reminder of Dave's passing years ago. Of course I wish that he was still here with us though in a lot of ways he still is. With all of the division amongst us these days, political, racial, etc. it's nice to remember a great man, and a great supervisor of his staff who was just a kind caring person regardless of position, race, religion, etc. I probably enjoyed working with Dave as much as anyone in my career at Kraft. It's not always that you get a sad reminder and have it turn into a smile and a good memory of a great person.

Godma and Robert I really don't know what to say. Realistically, I think we all know that no one will live forever; However, there are some very special people you just couldn't imagine life without. Goddaddy was one of those people! I have many fond memories that I've stored over my years, in pockets of my mind and my Goddaddy is a top 5. I loved him and his special way of loving me. Words cannot express the sadness in my soul and this pain in my heart. I will miss him dearly.
