Dear Aunt Doris and family; we want to express our deepest condolences to you all. May God carry you all through this time and be with you always.
You will be missed every time we go up north to the cabin. We will miss you, Uncle Dave.
I was so sorry to hear about David. He grew up without his dad and now your boys will have to do the same. David left way before his time.
I will miss him greatly, but I know that he is watching over his family and mine. I have so many fond memories of growing up with the help of my auntie Carol and uncle Dave. I look forward to continuing to make great memories with his family. I love you, Uncle Dave, and you will always be in my heart. May you rest in peace.
Carol and family,
I just heard about Dave today and am so very sorry to hear this shocking news. He was a great man. Please know you are all in our thoughts and prayers.
