Dad, eleven years later, Pres and I finally got to come back and see your plaque a few weeks ago. Presley has a tattoo of your handwriting. In just the 9 years she had with you, you left such an impression on her. We love you and miss you.

Happy Belated Birthday my friend. It seems I am always late with the wish. Missing the good old days with you and Bart. Take care. Edgar

It is a trip down memory lane. Thank You all.

Dad,
Though this message is over a week late, I thought about you every day not only since the 10 year mark of your passing last week, but also every other day since you passed. We miss you dearly. So much has changed and I miss your voice and your presence. You've been joined now by someone else dear to you. Little Bit got a tattoo of your handwriting from a letter you wrote her that says "I Love Youuuu", just like you used to tell her and write her. I'm so thankful she remembers you and you two had the bond that you did. Our last conversation when I visited is often on my mind. You opened my eyes about so much regarding the importance of self-value. I am thankful for that last weekend and thankful to have had you as my father in this life. Love and miss you, Trin

My oh my, time has passed so quickly. 10 years of you being gone has passed to quickly. You were a close friend, a co-worker and a person everyone should have as a friend. Missing you and the good times. Take care, Love ya, Mazzo

Dad,
Im writing a day late for your birthday but I thought about you all day yesterday. Ten years have gone by so fast and there’s so much I wish I could share with you. You were a kind and generous soul and I love and miss you.

Hello Dave, another year has passed. They seem to go by too fast. Happy 77th my friend. Take care. Love ya. Mazzo.

Dad, nine years has passed so fast and we’ve missed sharing our lives and experiences with you. It seems you are always with us in one way or another, as we talk about you a lot, have your pictures around and remind the kids how much you loved them. I love youuuuu, always!

Hello Dave, cannot believe another year has passed and that it has been 9 years that you went to see the lord. You would not believe that we have moved from Calistoga home of 68 years to Folsom. Closer to grand kids. All about family. Missing you my friend. Love ya, Mazzo.

Dave, my friend, i am finally wishing you a Happy Birthday on your birthday. Missing all the good times and missing you. Take care. Mazzo.

Hello my friend, another year has passed. It is unbelievable it has been 8 years
since we last talked. Miss those great times we had. Thanks for being such a great friend, dad and grandpa for your family. Miss you, Mazzo.

Dad, There are so many things I wish I could share with you, talk to you about, and celebrate with you. I know you struggled and you did your best to be there for me through really challenging times. Your dedication taught me how to love my kids through everything. You are missed and loved.

Dave,
i seem to always wish you a belated birthday. I guess getting old the memory gets forgetful.. Happy Birthday my friend. I think of you often and of all the fun / good times we had. Take care and we'll see you on the other side at some point. love ya, Mazzo.

Dad, It would be your 75th birthday today. I think about you often, and we tell the kids your stories all the time. You would be so proud of them. It's been a long while since you were here with us. You are forever in our hearts...
I Love Youuuuuuuuuuu!

Time marches on. i was late remembering you last year and again this year, but better late than never. Miss you my friend. Take care, Mazzo.

Happy Belated birthday my friend. It is amazing how the years go by so fast.
Missing the days of fun, but you are not forgotten. Love ya man, Edgar

Hello my friend. Sorry fore being late. Still remembering the good old days.
You are in my thoughts often. Take care for now buddy. As you would call me,
by for now. Mazzo..

Six years ago we said goodbye and I still think of you every day. You were so thoughtful with the cards you sent and the constant encouragement. I never realized how much I loved that until it was gone. I've kept all the letters and cards and fondly remember all the times we spent catching up. Wish you were here and wish I could give you a giant hug. Forever your Bug, Trin

Another year has passed. But my memories and good times are still fresh. Take care my friend, and keep and eye on me. Miss you, Mazzo

Hello my friend. Another year has passed. I miss all the old days with you and Bart. They were great times. Miss you a lot.

You are gone but never will be forgotten by all of us who knew and loved you for being a great guy.

Dad,
If I could tell you one thing it would be "Thank you!" No one ever tried harder to make a rough situation good for their kid than you did. You are forever in my heart and a part of my soul as I try to parent my own kids. I miss you and love you. Love, Bug

Dave, Missing the good old days with you & Bart chopping, cutting and splitting all that fire wood. Keep resting my friend. Love ya, Mazzo.

Dearest David, You have held a special place in my heart for over 50 years. You were my first love and I have never forgotten you. The five years we shared together and love we had for each other was forever lasting in my memories. Just learned of your passing today and I simply wanted to tell you... although we never married, you still hold a piece of my heart and always will. Bless you David forever. Pam

I was on the ship with Dave, many good memories, he was a good friend and shipmate. I visited him some years ago, and was planning to visit him again. Rich Martin  rich27800@gmail.com

I miss you, Dad...
I just realized that your first and last birthday were both on Mother's Day.
-Love, Trin

Dad, It has been two months since you found peace. I think of you daily, and miss your voice and your continual words of encouragement. I still expect the phone to ring every Sunday night. It is Veteran's Day, and I wish I could call and thank you for your service. I miss you. Thank you and I love you.
With Love, The Bug

I remember Dave while he was working at a local lumber company. We worked together for many years. We would cut firewood together with another freind who has also passed on. Dave was a great freind, loving father and husband. i am disappointed in myself for not keeping in touch with him in recent years. Trinidee, I am very sorry for your familys loss. Sincerely Edgar.

What I'll remember the most of Dave is the love he had for his daughter. I can always tell how proud he was of her, he had good reason to be proud, but he was not afraid to express it. I also remember going up to Napa with Trin and Dave always showing us the best time. He knew how to spoil us girls! You will be missed my Giants fan friend!

Namaste::: To you Mr Hillaire, for all the wonderful memories. The times when you didn't have to go above and beyond but you did. As I think back to all the fun times that you organized for all the Neighborhood kids. You never allowed anyone to feel left out. Thank you for everything.

I remember many people from our days at S.C.H.S....but Dave was definitely one of those that really stood out! You would never see him when he wasn't smiling or laughing. My most sincere sympathies go out to his family. Please know that he will live on forever in the memories of those of us he knew back then.
Sincerly, Donna DiGiovanni Camera

Dave,
You were the only person we knew who sent us a thankyou for inviting you to Little Di's wedding. Good Old Dave.  Always the gentleman. You will be missed.

There were eight of us that were the closest of friends in high school and now there are only seven. I miss Dave, but will never lose the memories of what a great guy he was and all the fun we all had together whether it was sports, parties, road tips, or just hanging out. May he rest in peace.

I found out of Dave's passing through my friend Pam Ingersoll,he was a close friend in high school. I didn't see much of him later on in life,though I thought of him and our pals often,my good wishes and love go out to all his family and friends,Dave you are one of the good ones

I am so sorry for your lose. Dave was/is a shinning star. I was at San Carlos high school with him and will always remember his wonderful smile and loving eyes. Even though Dave and I were only high school friends I did not want to miss letting you know that he was a lovely person. Sincerely, Kathie Ryan

Dad,
I will always think of you and remember our good times together. You were my first best friend. Thank you for all of the love and support you've given me over the years and for always believing in me. You will always be a part of who I am. I love you.
Love, Trin
