VWEY SORRY TO HEAR. I ALWAYS ENJOYED OUR TIME TOGEHTER EVEN WHEN THEY WERE DIFFICULT. YOU ARE IN OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS.
Dear Dave,
I was saddened to learn of the passing of Dee, and my condolences go out to you and the family.
My mind immediately went back to the wonderful years of rallying we all participated in, back in the heyday of the sport. You guys were great competitors, and were airways the ones to beat, and fun to rehash the rally with at the bar after the event. Remember the Great Snow Rally out of Hamburg NY, and the huge snow storm which impeded our drive home, taking us three day to get back to Rochester?
I will always cherish the camaraderie of those times, and will keep you and your family in my prayers.
“Dave and Dee.” You two were the coolest couple on the auto rally circuit. Ruth and I always enjoyed your company. (Ruth passed in 1995.)
Wonderful memories of a great time in our lives with great people like you two. My sincere sympathies for your loss.
Dear Dave, Danny, and Alana–
Our love and thoughts are with you. We cherish the memories of those great times we spent with you and Dee, and grieve for your loss.
Our sincerest sympathies–
With our love–Ed and Shirley
