This popped up on my email today. I can't believe it has been 8 years now. Feels like a lifetime since I've seen you, heard your voice and your laugh. I miss you so much, Uncle Dave. Rest in heaven and some day I know I will see you again. Love you always and miss you!!

The other day I saw a picture of you and dad in a boat in Wisconsin. You both were so young and looked so good. That is how I will always remember you. I remember your laugh and your silly jokes. I miss you, Uncle Dave! You will forever be in my heart! I carry a picture of you in my work badge case and look at it all the time. I know you are watching over all of us!! Love you and miss you!

Miss you, Dave. I will always remember our poker games, parties at Kim's, and just hanging out with you. Your sense of humor kept all of us laughing until our cheeks hurt. See you some day, my friend.

Uncle Dave, I can't believe you have been gone from us for a year now. It feels like a lifetime since we have seen you. I wish I could see you again, hug you, kiss you, and tell you how much I love you. I want to see you sitting on the boat fishing next to me, laughing and telling jokes, and just have you near us!! I miss you so much and want you back with us!! I know someday I will see you again until that moment, please know I love you and miss you terribly!!!

Prayers for your family as you continue to heal from your loss. As long as he is on your mind and in your heart your father will never be far away.

Dave welcomed everyone to his family, this I remember well. He was kind to all and excepted everyone. I was only at one, but his fish fry was one of the best ever. He made you feel at home and part of the family. Diana you are living proof of what a great man he was, look at what a wonderful, kind and caring person you are, this is a direct result of his and your mom's love. RIP Dave, never forgotten

Dave,
You were the best father-in-law a girl could ever have. You and Carol are always like a second set of parents to me. I could always ask your help and count on you to fix something that always seemed to go wrong when David was out of town. I have never known anyone quite like you and never will. We miss you so very much, our lives have changed so much without you, but someday we will see you again. I love you and miss you very much!!!

Dad,
    I used to be your angel, and now you're mine. I Love and miss you with all of my heart and I hope that you know that. You were never a burden, Dad. I wish I knew and could've done more....I have many regrets. I'm so sorry, Dad. You mean the world to me and I can't ever tell you enough how greatful I am to have been blessed with such a wonderful Dad. Til we meet again.....I Love You❤

Watching the pictures scroll by, I started to cry! I miss you so much and think of you every day, Uncle Dave. I have your picture in my work badge so I see you every day. The times I have been out on the lake fishing, I think of you and all the good times we had fishing together!! I miss your laugh and your quirky jokes. I miss that sparkle you had in your eyes! I love you and I know I will see you again!! Many people have aunts and uncles that they are never close with, but you and Aunt Carolyn have always been such a big part of our lives. It seems like it was always mom & dad and Carolyn & Dave. We had so many vacations together and great memories!! I will always cherish those memories of the last fishing trip we did together when Eric and I got married!! You and I on the lake together in the morning on one boat and dad and Eric on the other boat!! I love you!
