We are sadden to hear of the loss of Dave. Horseshoes is where we met. Not only did we play together in the Deep River League, Dave also played indoors one season at Central CT Horseshoe club in East Hartford. It was here that Dave touch many of our hearts. His wit and humor were contagious. On behalf of all the members at CCHC we wish the family strength and courage during this difficult and very sad time. He will forever be in our hearts.
To everyone who loved Dave MO…as we did…we offer our sincere condolences. We are absolutely heart-broken. We feel like we lost a brother. We weren’t just neighbors for years, we were family. Couldn’t wait for Dave to get home from work..so we could sit under our tree and solve the world’s problems. We resolved many issues under that tree..and in his garage. We loved when Dave and Karen would visit us in AZ. Our hearts go out to her…along with Diane, Jeff, Lauren and his entire immediate family. We know all of you very well and feel your sorrow. I can go on and on…but we will never forget this great guy. We have so many memories and stories…We could write a book. We love you MO….RIP
We are deeply sorry for your loss. We are praying for you. We are very sad that you are going through so much pain and sorrow. We love you and we are here for you in any way you need us to be.

I know you will have wonderful memories to hopefully sustain you during this difficult time. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.
