This is a very sad moment for me. Dave will be missed more than he knows.. I will remember the breakfast we had together, and the times he and Connie came over to my house. And the times he and Connie took Cleon and I to U of M. I will never forget that he picked up my first iPad for me… that has been a lifesaver for me. I will never forget one hot summer day they came over and we went for ice cream in his convertible.
Connie, Nancy and Jim – Words escape me. How do you let someone know how truly sorry you are when you can’t give them a hug also? Dave touched so many lives with his kindness and humor and caring, loving spirit. I first met David in high school where he kept us all laughing – especially on the days he was able to join us at our lunch table!! So funny and so darn smart too. In the more recent years, I re-encountered Dave and met Connie thru the doctor’s office. We shared lots of conversations that started “Remember when…”
No one will fill the void left by his passing as you are all well aware. But the hole in your hearts will forever be full of memories. May the shared times, loving looks and gentle touches and the sound of his voice and laughter fill your hearts and souls and keep him close, always. Love to you all during this time and going forward.
