Dear MaryAnn and the entire family,
I can't get a handle on the fact that my friend and Friday Breakfast Buddy has left us. My deepest sympathies and condolences go out to you. I am overseas right now and am unable to join you on the 11th to celebrate Dave's life. All of you are in my prayers. God Bless.

I'm sorry I can not be at Dave's funeral.
I grew up with Dave in Yardville and also
played basketball with him at Hamilton High West.
A few years ago we got together and have started meeting once a month with other high school graduates at the Broad Street Diner for breakfast and to reminisce, tell tall stories and have some laughter. Dave is truly, going to be missed. I believe Dave is now with God in his Heavenly Kingdom and that someday we will all get
together again for some more laughter.

Jennifer- I am so sorry for your loss. Your dad was my favorite customer on my paper route and I learned that he needed to be my last collection of the night or I'd never finish. I'd hang out your house when you were just a little girl laughing and joking about everything. A few years ago I did communicate with him through a HHW alumni site. I'll be sure to pass this sad news on to my family that also knew him well.

Dear Linda,

I was so sad to learn of Dave's passing. My prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time. Having recently lost my own "big brother" I can assure you that the pain of Dave's loss will fade and fond memories of him will soon return. May he rest in peace.
