Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. Almost each and every memory I have as a child growing up in MN prior to moving to FL includes my Uncle Dave and Aunt Dode…with my best friend and cousin Amy. My brothers and I spent so much time under their roof…my love and prayers to you all…wish we could be there to give you a big hug! Peace be with all of you! Andrea (Nunnelee) White and Family

  2. On behalf of the Forest Lake American Legion Post 225, we give thanks for David’s military service in the Marines for our nation and to veterans as a Legion member.

  3. I love you Daddy. Whenever I think of you, it puts a smile on my face. You lived such a happy, and free life. I strive to be more like you. You would be proud of what Todd and I are doing, in your place. We love you, and will see you again some day.
