God Bless You
Janet, so sorry to hear of Dave’s passing. My heart aches for you as you as you grieve for Dave. Always such a nice guy and had a smile for everyone. May God bless you and your family in the days to come. May you be comforted by friends and family and memories of happier times. Sincerely, Paula Wright Volz
What a LIFE!
Janet & Family, this is a tough time and you are in our prayers. Dave and I met at St. Joes in the first grade. Sure, we played sports -Catholic league Basketball, Knothole Baseball (we even won a championship one year), Pee Wee Football as teammates and opponents. More importantly, we were long-time partners and co-conspirators. Through the years, we played pool, camped out, shot BB guns at each other and targets that were off limits, rode our bicycles around like little gangsters, chased the girls, got in fights, and drank too much. Then we went on to high school at Dixie. It was one heck of a ride and one heck of a lot of fun. This seems appropriate – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LDArAJf7-c
