Being the only brother-in-law I have, I will miss you!
From you, Mike and Greg telling golf stories and always saying " Mulligan" (" I still don't know what that means") to your white socks up to your knee with shorts.
I know your with Mike and I know your having a peaceful time.
Rest in Peace, Dave,
You'll be missed by many.
