Dave is our brother-in-law but so much more, our friend. When he married my sister, Ruby, he got ALL OF US and what a GEM we got in him. Words cannot describe his gentle nature, his love for his family and the true beauty of this man. All through his illness his sweet nature did not change. The nurses and aides loved him. Who could not? His main concern was that he was a burden to Ruby. Ruby was a wonderful wife and caregiver. Her daily strength came from the Lord as it was daily, even hourly at times . It's hard to believe Dave will not be at our family gatherings - and no longer my 'Pig' Partner. He and I were the champions, although Ruby and Ken would disagree! We all knew we loved one another and how wonderful is that? He was truly a gift to our family, even to naming his first son, John, after our son and later, walking our daughter-in-law down the aisle at her marriage to our son. Dave was also the World's Best Cookie baker...another great memory of our Christmases together.
We send our love to Ruby and her family. You all had the best!
Heaven is richer with Dave there with his Lord and Savior.
Love Always,
Ken and Bobbi
