Dear Jeanne and Family,
We are so sorry for your loss, my husband and I will surely miss his stories and how much he loved his wife and two daughters. He was such a great guy and my children will surely miss his presence especially when he opens his garage door while he sits on his chair and shouts out to the kiddies. He always offered his help, and never complained once. He will surely be missed, you have an angel that will be watching over you.

Dave was a good man and was always good to me. he will be missed .

April 16, 2015

My deepest sympathies to his 3 loving girls. In all the years I've known Dave he only spoke highly of all of you. He thought he was the luckiest man in the world to have Jeanne for his wife. He could not have been more proud of Kerry and Erica and loved their choices for husbands. I will truly miss you Dave and I will always remember "Why not me" instead of "Why Me". Safe passage my friend.
