Celeste, John, and Derek,
Although we all knew this day would come, it is still shocking and very hard to come to terms with. He loved you all so very much. I will miss him terribly. He was one of the most wonderful people I have ever known. I was blessed to have him as a good friend over the past 20 years. RIP, Dave….you were a warrior. You will never be forgotten, and always very fondly remembered.
Heather Raithel and Family
