    Richard and Christopher, a father’s guiding hand always rests on the shoulder of his sons. I am so deeply sorry for your loss. Dave loved you so very much and was proud of you both beyond words .Christine, his love for you was so evident. I saw it in the little things and the everyday things when I had the pleasure to spend the time with you both. I can only guess how much you will miss him.
    As you comprehend this profound loss, let yourself cry knowing each tear is a note of love rising to the heavens and that Dave is basking in the light of the divine. My heartfelt love and sorrow for you all.
