Trust that the Lord will be your strength during these deep waters.Always enjoyed spending time with Dave over the years.He was always encouraging the younger people at HECO to put money away for the future, still stunned by the events, sometimes God does not make sense.

So many memories, so close to my heart. Hours of riding on the fender of a bumpy yellow tractor, teasing and telling stories. Waiting hours in mosquito infested trees, to be outwitted by your cunning. Being conned into doing things I thought I couldnt do. In later years being able being able to share our stories and some fun with new generations. Uncle Dave was there for me when I needed a helping hand, a listening ear, a gentle teasing to make me smile. His love and guidance had tremendous impact on my life, and are large part of the person I am today. I love you with all my heart.
