I worked with Dave and Jim at Indiana Limestone for 15 years and heard many stories about "Dave's Dad" in the quarry. In knowing the kind of man Dave is, there is a glimpse of his Father. I am sorry for your loss. Remember this isn't goodbye, but see you later. Your entire family is in my prayers. God Bless you.

Stella I remember visiting you and Robert with John many years ago. John was Pansy's son. He has been gone for over 25 years. Sharing the loss of a spouse seems to help.
