Their friendship (and foolishness) began when they met at the ripe old age of 13. This photo was taken three years later; 16 years old and full of life, promise, and hormones! Their friendship, more than four decades of it, more like a brotherhood. David, handsome, funny and tender-hearted. In the twenty years I have known you, I have seen you grow from a sought-after bachelor to a family man whose life's joy is his family.
Thank you for being my children's 'Uncle Dave.'
Thank you for being a loving and faithful friend to me. And thank you for never telling me to "SHUT UP" when I give you unsolicited advice, nearly every time we're together. You are good at many things and chief among them, is the ability to love with your whole heart. You are a blessing to all who are lucky enough to call you a friend. Now all you need to do is relax a little and believe it. (There I go with the advice, again) I love you from the bottom of my heart. I hope you have a happy birthday, you deserve it.
