one of my favorite memories is keeping scorebook with david on wall every game of the 1987 world series, i will miss ya buddy
Amy and family,
Dave will be missed by alot of people. He was a great man. Way to young to be taken from us.
I know it had been awhile since I have seen Dave, but when we were younger he was at my house alot with my cousin Tim and Patrick playing poker with my dad.
Amy and family,
Dave will be deeply missed! He was always quick to laugh and had a great sense of humor. When my mom first move up here we stayed with Aunt Judy and the boys, so I have many fond memories growing up with Dave. I love you all!
Amy and Family,
I meet Dave about 25 years ago when we started playing softball together. He use to give me crap about being the old man on the team. He would be the first one to come over and help me put a motor in my sons car or whatever I was working on. I will miss you!!!
Skins, you have been a Dad for 16 years, even though I am your older brother, I have always looked up to you for the way you have taken care of your family, You have taught me how to be a Good Father to Katrina. I miss you Skins,You are in my Heart & thoughts everyday.
Thank You for being my brother & my friend.I love you- Patrick
Amy, R, and Megan.
Daver was an exceptional friend. Daver & Dave has great times at SMC, Playing softball together and snowmobile trips. Daver was the kind of man that could always make you laugh and was always there to help when Dave needed his help. He will be deeply missed. Little G sure enjoys his little dirt bike rides. We will surely miss him!!!
Love
Davey, Katie and Gerad
Amy, R, and Megs
Your dad was one of my closest and best friends. He was there for me when I needed him. I never even knew about the Aquatennial fireworks until he told us about them. Hunting with Dave, Ryan, R, Chase and Brad, Snowmobiling with the guys, FIght nites and so much more. He is missed greatly and we all will miss him dearly.
We Love you guys and Dave
Brad, Leah, Cheesh, Chastity, and Chase
Dave, You were a wonderful father, loving husband and one of the nicest men I have ever met. I’m so glad I got the chance to know you and be able to call you family. I will miss you. May you rest in peace.
Dave, I am so sad that we grew apart. You and Pat were my best friends growing up. I will miss you. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family, I really enjoyed meeting your son Trevor, at the fund raiser this fall, he is a little Dave. I have so many things I will miss about you, joy riding, playing Tennis, Basketball, Football in the yard, Baseball and all the times we/you worked on my Car. Most of all.the Times we spent playing penny poker, drinking Pepsi and just having some great times. I will miss you my friend. I LOVE YOU.
Skins, we have known each other for a long time and did alot of growing together. I have always considered you as one of my very best friends and I always will. I know you are resting peacefully and will save a good spot for me when God takes me. Also I would see how good or great of a father you were with your children and how you and Amy stayed together and worked alot out. You are a great friend, father, and a husband and will never be forgotten in my heart… I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH BUD, may you rest peacefully here on out, and I will come up and see you some day
Dave, I have known you for about 13 years when my dad and myself put together a coed softball team at Diamonds. You were there every week, you may have been close to the oldest other then my dad! But you were by far one of the fastest :-)
You will be missed
Dave, I have not kept in touch for awhile, but we have many memories of years ago. Cal and Trevor going to preschool together, that was precious. Going to the ballgames and just to see the bond that you and Chuck have always had are special memories for me. God took you way to early, but there is a plan even though we may not understand that yet. Some friendships never end even though it may have been a few years. God be with you Amy and family. Take care and Amy let me know if there is anything I can do for you.
Thank you Dave, for all of the fight nights and for being the best friend my brother (Ryan Proctor) could have ever had!
Dave my love, I know you know how much I miss you and how much the kids miss you too! One month ago today we were married but we had 20 wonderful years before that together! On our wedding day we were so much still in love and everyone could see that! You are and will always be the love of my life! I promise you I will continue to be the best mom to Trevor and Megan, I will keep Trevor involved in bowling and ball and Megan I will help her continue to be a strong independent bright young lady! She will dance for you and I will teach her how to play softball also. Everything you would want and enjoy doing for our children I will do my best to continue doing for you.I promise you this and I will find a way to be happy because I know you would want me to, It will take time and I dont know how or when but all 3 of us will continue to make you proud! I love you! You’ve got your slippers on and you are home and we wait for the day that you welcome us home too! Love You always Amy, Trevor, & Megan
