This broke my heart when I found out. I called him Uncle Dave even though he was actually my cousin. I loved him dearly. He was a very sweet and loving man. He had a heart of gold. My heart goes out to Lori and all his family. You will be missed so much by so many. Give my son " Bubba" a kiss for me when you get there. I love you Uncle Dave
