I’ve been thinking about you all everyday. I can’t find the words to comfort you all but just know that I love you guys. Dave, You’ve always been like a father to me. You were always straight with me and knew what I needed to hear, even if I wasn’t going to like it. You took care of the neighborhood and us kids like a guardian angel. Now you’ll be looking down on us guiding us through life choices just like you’ve always done. When you get thru those gates, give Robbie a hug for me. I love you old man. I’ll miss you.

What a shock to hear! Never believed it could happen, he just kept going and going and going ( even made the Energizer bunny tired). One of the most respectable, dependable, and kindest individuals I’ve ever had the honor to know. You will be missed,

Dave, the only consolation, you are not in pain any longer. I know you are in paradise now, you have to be. Dave, you lived your life to the fullest and gave it your all. Your honesty, integrity & value I will never forget. We sure had some funny stories back in the emergency room days. Rest in peace my brother. I’ll see you again some day. Lovingly. Joeta
