Hope and family,
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of David. I met your father-in-law through church and loved him from the get go.
He could always tell if I had a bad week and would have me smiling and feeling so much better within a short time of just talking together. He truly was a kind soul with a gentle heart. With all my prayers to you and your family during this difficult time.
Dan and Family,
When I first met Dave I was not only impressed with his physical strength(I thought he was going to break my hand every time he shook it) but also with his love for family. He was strong willed ,a fighter, and defied the odds. Dave always had my respect not only as veteran but as a man. He will surely be missed and I am truly sorry for your loss.
