Jon & Family... We were very sorry to hear of Dave's passing. We had a lot of laughs with your mom & dad over the years. He's back with JoAnne and happy I am sure. You and the family are in our prayers.

I have very fond memories of Dave. While growing up, our families spent a lot of time together. Many an evening was spent playing cards and laughing. When I was a child, Dave took a friend and I to the store for candy. He handed us a $10.00 bill, (at that time ten dollars was a lot of money), and said to go buy some candy. Shelly and I went into the store and came out with a HUGE bag of candy. Imagine his surprise when we came out. We were supposed to buy a candy bar each... not spend the whole ten. What a kind soul Dave was. May he rest in peace . Dave... please give my love to my Dad, JoAnne, and David.
Johnny, my heartfelt sympathy to you.
Love,
Kelley Conti
