Dear Mary and Adam, I am so sorry for your lost. I will always remember his smile and mostly the respect he always showed me and my family when he would come to the Highland GC.

dear dave raskin family and friends:
i'd like the memory of me
to be a happy one.
i'd like to leave an after glow
of smiles when life is done.
i'd like to leave an echo
whispering softly down the ways,
of happy times and laughing times
and bright and sunny days.
i'd like the tears of those who
grieve to dry before the sun
of happy memories that i leave
when life is done

My prayers to Mary and all the family, Dave was a great teacher, mentor and friend. I work for Dave in the late 70 and always thought of him as one of the good guys. He taught me many things the seven years we worked together and will always hold him in the highest esteem. Thank you Dave for all you did for me.

Dear Dutch 'n Family:
It's very hard to say goodbye
When someone you love has to die
Whether age or illness has wrinkled the face
And we assume they're in a better place
Warmth 'n Sympathies are sent today
In the hopes that they may
Ease the pain you now bear
Knowing there are those who care

Peace to the family and friends of
