On that fateful day the world lost a truly Great Man. He was a father first and foremost, but he was also a Patriot & a friend. I morn his passing because I lost the big brother I never had, a sage counsel, a friend. His wit, enthusiasm for life and wisdom will be missed by all. On that day my daughter, of whom he was proud, lost a God Father. I know he is heaven because he was a righteous man. I will meet you soon my friend…at the rainbow bridge. I LOVE YOU!
So sad to hear of Dave’s passing. He was a great father and grandfather. He was a good friend and I will remember him fondly
To whom it may concern, My condolences to you! Sincerely, Joe Collier
I will miss you so much goddad
