When we first moved into the neighborhood,Dave noticed the work was doing to improve our property. The first words that Dave ask Bill was,I take it your going to stay awhile. That started a friendship for the next eight years. We will miss you Dave.
Our hearts are heavy at the passing of our dear cousin, Dave. We can't count the times he came down to fix things, offering his excellent craftsmanship and superb sense of humor. Dave had the greatest laugh, and I spent many a summer night as a kid listening to him and grandpa at the kitchen table. I will miss seeing him riding his lawn mower and tending the beautiful garden where Kim and I would pilfer all the green onions. What a dear, sweet soul. May he rest in peace. Marie...Patsy,...and Mike.
I am so sorry to have learned of the passing of Dave, he was one a good man, a good friend to our family, and was a very good friend of my deceased father and mother; Billie Ray and Sally Ann Lewis. I will always remember his laugh and the stories he loved to tell about him and my dad in the old days. "Dave a Roo" you will be missed. RIP
May God bring comfort to your family. I pray that loving memories fill your saddened hearts. My love, Sharon.
It hurts my heart to think of you all at this time. Prayers of comfort and peace. Love you
Dave was a special cousin we loved and we have many fond memories of him throughout the years during childhood and later in life. He was kind-hearted and soft spoken to those around him. We remember the pride Dave took in all of his work: the tile business, gardening, and keeping his home and yard attractive and neat. Our hearts are broken for his children, grandchildren, and two sisters as well as other family members. We send loving prayers and hugs of comfort to his family during their grief.
I'm so very sorry to learn of Dave's death. I only have happy memories of him. He always made me smile and always had a kind word for me. Much love and light sent to all of you.
Kim, Eric, Jill, & Tiffany,
Please know that Marjorie, Robin, Christine, and I are thinking of you all. Your family and loved ones have a special place in our hearts. Dave was a presence in our lives growing up and we will always remember the brief moments later in our adult lives when we were able to visit with him and Lola both. The link they both provided to our childhood was very precious.
With heartfelt sympathy for your loss,
Tee
