Barb, Isaac & Jacob, We're so very sorry for your loss. Please know we are thinking of you. So many fond memories of Uncle Dave. Especially enjoyed camping trips even though I told him I 'hated nature' and every time I saw Uncle Dave, he liked to tell that story. :) He will be missed, but will always be in the hearts and memories of his loved ones. Love, Michelle, David and Sean.

Emch family,
My sincere condolences to you at this trying time. I have known 'Big Dave' for 20 years. I will always remember him as being a big teddy bear with the most loving heart. I will never forget his contagious laugh. He always brought so much humor and enjoyment to everything he did. He made things fun. One thing that always stood out to me about 'Big Dave' was the love he had for his family. He was a great dad. He was always active in his boys lives which always impressed and moved me so much. He will be dearly missed.

So saddened to hear of your loss. I'm praying that God will strengthen all of you in His wonderful, unique, and perfect way during this difficult time. Wish I could be there to express my condolences in person -- will be thinking of you during the drama performances at the school this weekend.
