  6. Caitlin and I are so shocked and saddened that the world has lost such a compassionate friend. My deepest condolences are with Dick and the family, you are in our hearts and thoughts. David cared tenderly for our brother and uncle for years and years and has been a trusted part of our family as a result. I will miss sharing our long conversations, and Dave’s wry observations and delightful humor, I know my brother will sorely grieve the loss of a man he looked up to and admired, and I am grief stricken that I will not hear his warm voice with the Down Easter accent, or see his smiling face greet me again. I am grateful for the wonderful memories we share thanks to Dave’s kind efforts and good work with my brother, the Special Olympics, and all the folks at the Independent Residence. His impact is truly his lasting legacy and I am so glad he came into our family’s life!
