My buddy Dave...

[Andy54Hawken]

So Tomorrow , August 4th , my buddy Dave would have been 65.
Here are some pictures of Dave , doing what he loved to do...
Two big lessons I learned from Dave...
If you like someone and enjoy their company , let 'em know ...
And if you know something , be sure to share your knowledge...

That long trail that divides us , is not so long once you understand and accept it...
And you are never forgotten a long as tales are told 'bout who you were and what you did.

I'm sure that Dave is still hanging around, watching over your shoulder Andy. I'm willing to bet that you were as strong an influence on him as he was to you. We are indeed fortunate to walk the earth with such people. Godspeed Dave.

Beautifully written. I wanted to write a heartfelt comment, but couldn't find the words.

When we travel the road of life with a close friend and share interests in life, we are enriched and sharpen each other. When that friend is called home, all we can do is keep their memory alive by recalling those special moments together.

Godspeed Dave...

Andy, God has blessed you with many memories of your dear friend...

God bless...

Wonderful tribute to your dear friend, Andy. Sounds like he would have been a great man to meet and talk to. Glad to know you had such a fine friend and I'm sorry for your loss. Passing away in your 60's sounds so young these days. No doubt he made a positive impact on the lives of many during his short time here.

Lots of memories there for sure...I am ever thankful for the time and friendship Dave and I shared.

Andy I know how it is to lose someone close to you. Things don't get any easier but you sir are one of a kind and will carry on his legacy in a way that only you know how.

I wish I could have met him on this earth, but I know that some day we will all be sitting at the range in sky and sharing a beer together. Thoughts and prayers to you and his family on this day my friend.

65 is to young, but then again we don't get a say in that.

Sounds like we should be having a "beer social" before the weather turns cloudy and wet...
