    Dear Laura, Bud, Karen, Marty & families – John and I are heartbroken with the sad news of the passing of Dave/Dooders. He was always so friendly and full of life, it’s difficult to process this loss. Seeing his smiling face here reminds me how blessed we all were to know such a great man. When we were growing up, Dave showed me what being a great dad and husband was all about, and later on, he was the best grandpa to Layla & Emily. You’re all in our thoughts and prayers constantly. Lots of love and hugs being sent your way, Sam & John Chamberlain
