Penny, Todd, Josh and family. Our family sends all of you our love and prayers. We know we all will see David again someday in Heaven. Here is a poem I have always loved and found comfort in...
I give you this one thought to keep --

I am with you still – I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow,

I am the diamond glints on snow,

I am the sunlight on ripened grain,

I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you awaken in the morning’s hush,

I am the swift, uplifting rush

of quiet birds in circled flight.

I am the soft stars that shine at night.

Do not think of me as gone –

I am with you still – in each new dawn.##imported-begin##Linda Ray##imported-end##

Josh, Penny and Family,

I was very shocked to learn of Dave's passing. While I have lost touch with many since our days playing for Bosart's, I always enjoyed Dave as my coach. Will be keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers.

Best Regards,

Penny, Todd, and Josh,
Our love and prayers to you and your beautiful families. I always enjoyed Cookie on Sat & Sunday visits talking about his beautiful grandchildren and how much he loved them. They were the light of his life. Something to make you laugh... when our dog "Buckeye" would lay in Cookie's lap; wow ... Cookie would sweat bullets and feed him dog biscuits like candy !! Great memories of a Great Man. Always in our memory. The Amato Family##imported-begin##Vince & Lynette Amato##imported-end##
