Thanks for showing up at 7 a.m. to change my flat tire and all the other things you did without hesitation. Your actions always showed you cared even though you appeared rough on the outside. You have always been kind to me. Always greeted me with a smile. I hope you and your family have found peace.

My heart & deepest sympathy goes out to his family & friends. Dave was such a loving friend he gave me hope in one of my darkest days. I hope you feel God’s arms wrap around you at this time We mourn, but your dad would hope we wouldn’t, as he is no longer suffering the way he once was. R.I.P. my Dear Friend till we see you again.

Roberta and family. So very sorry for the loss of you Dad. He was a great and courageous man. He faced many trials and hardships, with his health. I feel he faced them with courage. I asked him one day what his greatest wish would be, and he said he wanted his legs back. I hope he is running, walking, and stomping on the pedal of a race car in heaven .I will be keeping you in prayers
