Scott, Shelley, Stacy and families – Harold and I are very sorry for your loss. We enjoyed getting to know Dave over the years at Christmas at Scott and Jeanne’s house and we know how very much you loved and will miss him. He was a special guy and always stood for what was right. Thanks for letting us get to know him. May our Lord bless each one of you and comfort you in this difficult time.
I met your dad when I went to the hospital to visit Scott 12 or so years ago. Although he did not know me, he was kind and generous to me as we shared our concern for Scott. I could tell he was a really wonderful man. I’m so sorry for your loss.
