We are so sorry to hear of Dave’s passing. He was an amazing man. While we’ve not seen him in years, I still have great memories of Dave from our youth and time at St. John’s. May he rest in peace and now be with his family in heaven.
To the man that taught me algebra, to the man that I drank my first beer with, to the man that told me good morning every morning via text message (even if I was sitting in the same room with), to the man that loves my puppies just as much as I do, to the man that sent his family home with endless trinkets, to the man that was stingy with his hot mustard, to the man that loved meat lovers pizza…thank you. I will miss you. Our family has been turned upside down but we find solace in the fact that you stayed strong until the bitter end and are now pain free. I love you grandpa, until we meet again.
