Lenore & Family,
As I didn't have the privelege of knowing Dave for a long time as you have, but in the short time I got to know Dave like his last name Goodfriend he was and always will be a good friend to me. God is now welcoming him home saying job well done and he is being saluted by all his fellow soldiers who proceeded him.

My condolences to all of Dave's family and friends. I have so many great memories and stories to share. Whenever and wherever I was with Dave, we always had a great time. Weather at work or on one of our many trip to Las Vegas, Dave made the good times even better. I will miss you, and look forward to seeing you at the big poker table in heaven...

Lenore and family,
I am so sorry to hear of Dave's passing. He was one of the nicest 'husbands' I ever had the pleasure of knowing. My prayers are with you and you're all on my rosary list.
Love,
