There are so many memories over the years I have known him that it's impossible to list them all here.  My mind jumps back from our vacation in Michigan when he ran around the outside of the cabin we were staying in with my sister's half slip on his head. I remember the Halloween when he chased an unknown girl down the street with a monster mask on his face; My sister stood in the doorway of their house shaking her head at that stunt. Dave took my son to the barbershop for his first haircut.  As a young single mother he rescued me numerous times , sometimes in snowstorms, when my car battery was stolen repeatedly from the rapid transit station.  He was there whenever a friend or family member moved. Even though he wasn't supposed to move heavy furniture or boxes, he still showed up to lend a hand. In later years,  he & my sister, Margie, loved to work crossword puzzles and read books. They  sure enjoyed their time together.  I remember how he loved his sons, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, but most of all how he loved my sister. Tears are falling as I write this because I will miss this very good man, and I am so thankful he was in our lives.

Love, Sheila (part of the befuddled five)

Just a good, kind , loving man who (along with his family) welcomed me as I became a part of his nephew’s life. 
Dave always had a smile, and the most wonderful sense of humor. He was also very sensitive and tender-hearted for anyone who needed it. 
Have missed him,  and wishing that God bless his family with comfort as they move forward with life without him. 
With love,
Dorothy

I worked with Marge, I loved her & Dave. He was such a funny, kind man. He always liked to hear the gossip. Glad they are reunited
