Dave was the best brother-in-law anyone could have. He was a kind and caring person. For the past 8 years Dave would call his sister 2 or 3 times a week. He just wanted to know that his sister was OK and to chat. He always asked to speak with me. We talked about nothing in particular - the Bears, the Sox, and golf. I miss those calls Dave. You will always be in my heart. God Loves you.

To Tom, Cynthia and their families, Even David kept to himself, he was always with us at any family affair we had. The last time I saw David was for the Kinfolk reunion in Wenona. I think we saw him for all of a few hours, but he made sure he was there. I offer you my deepest sympathy and prayers. It sure is a shock that we won't get over for awhile. But David was David and we will miss him. Love, Pamie
