There are so many great memories of daddy Dave. I learned a lot from him over the years as his neighbor. He was knowledgeable about so many topics, I always enjoyed debating just about anything with him! On a trip out to see Lita & Giuseppe in the bus with Dave, Linda and mom (Edna) we stopped in Tunica. While mom and Linda played the slots, Dave and I went for a walk. He especially liked the grins and nudges of the old guys sitting around the campsite as we walked by. I couldn’t figure out why they were doing that until Dave said that they must think I’m his young wife! He was all smiles. Funny guy, always great stories. I’ll miss your wave as you drive by to work dear neighbor! My heart goes out to you boys and the family. He’ll be missed, but glad he’ll be with your mom and without pain. Love to you all, Sherry Bush

Too many memories to even start counting. I will always remember his laugh and his love for life. Time gets away before you realize how many years have passed. I will also always remember how much he loved Linda and the boys. How he loved aggravating and joking with my girls. I loved listening to his answers to questions and his explanations of anything. Uncle Dave forgot more in his life than I could ever pretend to learn. He was a brilliant man. He was kind and generous. He will be missed by many. Love Angela
