I will always remember what a great person/father in law Dave was. He treated me like family, always. Dave and I shared a love of polish food but Onions. I am deeply sorry for all the loss this family has suffered in such a short period of time. My prayers got out to you all during this difficult time.

SO SORRY BETTY. I WISH I COULD GET DOWN THERE. I'M GOING TO MISS FISHING WITH DAVE. WE HAD SO MUCH FUN UP ON RED LAKE AND GUN. I CAN STILL REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME I TOOK HIM TO GUN LAKE. HE TURNED TO ME AND SAID, I HAVE TO GET A LOT ON THIS LAKE. WE DROVE ALL AROUND THE LAKE TROLLING LOOKING FOR A FOR SALE SIGN. HE LOVED THAT LAKE. I'LL MISS YOU DAVE...............YOUR SON IN LAW....

I can't believe that you're gone Grandpa. I will always remember fishing, playing catch in the alley, picking vegetables from the garden, and sleeping on the couch while you, dad and Uncle Chris watched the evening basketball games. There are so many memories that I will cherish for the rest of my life, and I am so grateful to have had you in my life. I love you Grandpa, and I know that we'll see each other again in the future.

Goodbye for now grandpa. You were like a second father to me all my life. You always cared about me and my life. You never lost faith in my abilities and always seemed happy for my achievements. I will always cherish our time together. I learned many things from you. I miss fishing with you. I will miss our cribbage games the most. I always tried to count my points faster than you. I never did tell you that but now you know. I know i am a better man today because you were in my life. May you find the sweet fishing hole in your new place and save a few big ones for me. Dont worry about grandma i will check in on her often and keep her company for you!

P.s. I am so happy you got to meet Emily. I love you and cant wait to see you once again.

David is a big man with a big heart, embracing life with great enthusiasm, persisting through his various infirmities, and peacefully accepting his exit from the game of life. A fortunate man to have such a devoted and caring wife to sustain him during their marriage, and to help prepare him to discard his worn out body and make his journey home.

Here is a poem that gives me comfort and I hope to others as well:

Do Not Stand At My Grave And Weep

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you wake in the morning hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die!

Mary Frye (1932)
