Dear Jean and Family,

We were so saddened to hear of Dave's passing. Our son, Father Jerry, sent us the notice from the Blade. We have lost touch over these past many years, but our thoughts have always been back in Toledo with our wonderful Corbin Road friends and neighbors. Special memories come to mind when we think of all the wonderful card parties we enjoyed each month.



God bless you and your family and keep each of you safe and warm in His everloving care.



Thinking of you often and missing the good times always,

Ted and Rosie

As a young boy my Uncle Dave brought many years of joy when he played Santa Clus at Christmas. Sometimes he would make you laugh and sometimes make you cry. Also as a young boy Uncle Dave and Grampa took me fishing and hunting and taught me how to catch my first fish and shoot my first rabbit. As the years went on my Uncle Dave always had good things to say and supported me in anything I did. When I joined the Service he told me that he was proud of me for supporting my country. My heart and love goes out to all the family and friends. I will miss you Uncle Dave, save me a spot at the fishing hole.

Love,

I am so glad that I had the opportunity to meet Terry's Uncle Dave. What I will remember most is that he seemed to be such a quiet man who was amused by the people around him. He was a true gentleman. My prayers and thoughts are with his family.

With deepest sympathy,
