    Dave..You made serving in the 215th a great time..all those commutes to Fall River, being in the Commando group with Myles at summer camp in Reading. We always had a bunch of laughs. You recruited me to "coach" Dave's hockey team and I'll always remember doing that..it was the only coaching job I ever had..There"s a song about heaven having "a hell of a band' and I bet you are in it..march on Buddy..Love Chris

    Dad, the way you handled going through your battle with cancer was amazing. You kept your sense of humor throughout even though the pain was excruciating. You also made a point of not wanting to be a burden which just shows your character. I'm glad you are now at peace up there, probably on a beach like the one you loved in Antigua, with Mary by your side, sipping a cold one with Elvis on in the background. You will be extremely missed by us all and know that you will always be in our thoughts. Love, Dan
