“Dear Molly, Fred and I always thought of your family as very special people. We are saddened to hear of Dave's death. He was a wonderful man who left a tremendous legacy in his choice of spouse as well as kind, generous, and capable children, and we can surmise that these traits follow in his grandchildren. We very much regret that we won't be able to attend the services for Dave as we'll be out of town during that time, but know our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Fred & Mary Gahl”
