Dear Martha
I can’t believe it’s already been 4 years. I just want you to know that I think of Dave and you often. I have the condolence bookmark from his service over my desk. I catch myself looking at him skiing often. I will always remember his kind smile and looking out my window to see his straw hat wandering busily always brought me comfort. Just know you are both loved. Deb

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of David. While I have not see or spoken to David since we were kids, I was moved by some of our similarities. I have almost the identical photo of me, possibly with the same goats, taken before 1970. I too am involved with landscape design working as a Landscape Architect for over 30 years. My condolences.
Todd Wales, first cousin, son of Marv and Clarice Wales.

Dear Martha, Please accept our sincere condolences. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. A brightness has left the resort but his memory will live on with all the lives Dave has touched with his humor, kindness and wit. I always enjoyed his thirst for books, and his ability to find the humor in awkward situations. He always had a unique way of observing the best part of a bad situation. He made it easy"to never be frightened by being enlightened".
I'm sure Rocky J. Squirrel and Bullwinkle J. Moose are by his side telling stories and making smiles.
A couple of TV show quotes that I think I can remember Dave quoting
Bullwinkle: Well, if you can't believe what you read in a comic book, what can you believe?
Rocky: A thousand dollars to get to Frostbite Falls?
Bullwinkle: You can buy the place for eight dollars cash.

Martha, I'm so very sorry about the loss of your best friend, Dave. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Take care of yourself.

Dear Martha- I was so so saddened to hear of Daves passing. There are no words. His zest for life, you, skiing, gardening, kittys, and people was one of a kind. He always took such good care of me. He never baulked at one more plant or bulb-- he just smiled and shook his head. My animals loved to sit with him and watch the action. He always took the time to pet or talk to them. You were very blessed to have had such a kind soul to share your life with. I am so sorry he was taken from you so suddenly. Please know you can always reach out. With Love

David as a kid with his "kids."

When I think of Dave, I can only smile, and I guess that's a great legacy. But what a huge lossa man of many talents and a genuinely good human being. He was my sweet, funny cousin and I loved him dearly. How could one NOT love Dave?

Dear Martha, I can't help thinking how Dave would be loving this latest huge snowfall. Maybe it's for him.
