Uncle Dave.
What can we say? He was an incredible, fun loving and loving man. I loved his laugh which could be heard often and always made me smile. He showed he cared, never hesitated to let you into his world. He adored Aunt Taff and their love was a solid reminder of what marriage should be.
Although it has been several years since we had seen him in person, whenever we called we felt his love radiant across the miles and could even hear his smile in his voice. He will be missed. He was loved by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
Both Aunt Taff and Uncle Dave allowed me to help them with repairs at the cottage which nurtured the development of our friendship. One of my fondest memories is when I assisted Uncle Dave to rebuild the screens to the third cabin. We worked alone all that day and had so much fun. He will never be forgotten.
Jane's favourite memory is from the first time she met him. I was bringing her over to Grandma and Aunt Kate's apartment to meet them for the first time. Coincidentally Aunt Taff and Uncle Dave were visiting at the same time. Uncle Dave ran interference between a very shy Jane and Aunt Taff who wanted to be sure I had finally found the right girl to spend the rest of my life with. Looking back all these years, that memory makes us both smile.
