Uncle Dave, you were one of the greatest men I’ve ever known. I love and miss you very much.
Dave was such a thoughtful caring man. My prayers are with you Louise and your families. It was a blessing to know him.
We have known Dave and Louise since 1986 when they lived in Tacoma WA They took us in to their home when our house was being finished and it ended up taking 6 weeks instead of 2. They are family! My family remembers how Dave loved to BBQ. He had a great sense of humor and loved to laugh! My husband and I consider him one of our greatest friends. He is greatly missed!
