We had so much fun Grandpa and I cant wait to see you again so we can go pick more bluberries! I hope they have casinos in heaven grandpa! haha! Love you Grandpa! Thank you to everyone for all your thoughts and prayers.

To the Prince family. I did not get to know Dave well but he was very nice to me. I went to help clean house for him the weekend before he died and he could'nt stop thanking all of us. I felt good helping him out and I am glad I was able to help him. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you.
p.s.
In case you may not know who I am I am his granddaughter HollyAnn's boyfriend.

I was lucky and blessed enough to be Dave's daughter for almost 27 years. He was a wonderful man and on June 8th, 2010 the world lost one of the last truely good men it had. He did'nt have to be my Dad but he chose to be and he was the most wonderful Dad I could have ever asked for. My heart goes out to my brothers and their partners and all of my nieces and nephews. We lost the rock that held our family steady. But no worries, He's fishing his heart out now. Hope he saves some for us to catch when we get there to join him. I love you Dad and I hope and pray you know that. Your grandkids love and miss you Grandpa and they hope you are resting peacefully and smiling big.
