I will so miss that smile…but I have it forever in my heart. I remember visiting Aunt Maxine & Uncle Bill when I was about 8 or 9 and Dave teaching me my first three guitar chords <3 The song was "Gloria" 🙂 There is a movie that plays in my mind every time I hear that song…
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him.

Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi
Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master
Grant that I may not so much seek
To be consoled, as to console;
To be understood, as to understand;
To be loved, as to love;
For it is in giving, that we receive;
It is in pardoning, that we are pardoned;
And it is in dying,
That we are born to Eternal life.
Amen
Rest in Eternal Peace David, we love you

So sorry to hear about Dave. I had just talked to Dave at our class reunion. We talked a little about our days at OHS. He was well liked by everyone and would do anything for anyone. My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone in the family.
