Dave I will miss you running out and talking to me whenever I was at my mother-in-laws house. Calling when you were so sick to see how Rich was doing. Calling to see what new movies we had bought and what movies we would recommend. Rich has so many more memories as we both knew you forever!! We will miss you. Love to Jim and Deb and you both know how we feel.
Love Rich and Linda

I am sorry that I never got to know my distant cousin, Dave. He sounds like a great guy and from what I've read, he loved animals, nature, music and Vintage Wood, as I do. My deepest condolences go out to Debra and his family and friends. Sincerely,

Dea, Bram, Dave, Hannah, and Debra

Dave I have a hard time believing your gone because you were so present in my life even at a distance. You were so thoughtful and kind and stayed in touch faithfully. I thank you for always calling me every birthday (our birthdays May 6th) and for coming to my wedding in Santa Cruz and spending time with us last June with Debra. We all had such a great time and I didn't want you to go. Deep down I think I knew it was our last visit with you and I cherished it. I miss you and I will miss your calls...I love you Dave,
Peace be with you
Love Dea

Dave was what "life" is all about! Good friends, music, food, drinks and FUN! His love for nature and animals and especially, you Deb. He just, "got it." He "had it" and everyone else, "wants it" We'll miss you every day, Dave.
