I will never forget when I first met Dave. I immediately felt his warmth and sincerity. I knew he was a good guy, and I was so happy that my SIL Susie had found someone so wonderful. The more I got to know him, the more I realized how he was such an incredible person. Everyone loved him. He was so positive and caring. He truly loved his family so much. It is hard to believe he has been gone this long. You freely gave love, and you were deeply loved in return. RIP, Dave.
