My thoughts and prayers are with Dave’s family … I’ll always remember your sense of humor and that boyish grin. There is some comfort in knowing you are at peace and no longer in pain … however, you left us waaaaayyyy too soon. Rest well, Dave … we miss you.
I learned many things in life from Dave….his passion for antiques and his knowledge of certain items.His love of getting up on Saturday’s and traveling to auctions to get the next treasure. His love if root beer floats, cards, billiards, pool. Talked to me often of his family and how much he enjoyed his niece’s and nephews.And spending time with them on the holidays.You were one of a kind Dave and will be sorely missed…
