A whole year has gone by...hard to imagine. My wife and 9-yr-old son and I still miss Dave (Big Dave to my son) very much but we know he's in a "better place" which makes us happy for him. We still talk about Dave alot and I love telling my son about the good times and mischief I was lucky to share with Dave.

It is with broken hearts that we say good-bye to Dave. He was a dedicated husband, a loving son and our good friend. He was "Big Dave", "Uncle Dave" and at times a darn good trouble-maker! He made us laugh, he made us wonder. Now he's made us cry. We try to remember him without tears, but it isn't easy. So Dave ... good-bye for now. Take it easy, rest up and save us a seat - we'll be there to visit you soon. Until then, we're just going to have to miss you an aweful lot.
