No words can express how sad I am for your loss, Dave you made my sister so very happy, you were a fantastic father to Oscar and Elsie.
I loved meeting you when you came to England and would have been so proud to have called you my brother in law. You have gone far to soon and my love and thoughts go to all your family and friends.
