My deepest sympathies to you. Dave will be greatly missed, but at last he has found peace.
I drive by “Dave’s house” at least once a week, and always think of you both.

Please accept our sincere sympathy in the loss of your dear Dave. What a great guy he has always been since I first met him when he was in Junior High at Cross of Glory Lutheran Church in Brooklyn Center, MN! We surely did have some fun times together, and of course never gave our pastors’ or league advisors’ a minute’s worry. We were such perfect angels. I know Dave is now singing with the heavenly chorus. “Glory to God!”
