It is with a very sad heart that I share the news of my father's passing. My father, David, was truly one of a kind. Everything he did was on a grand scale. He lived and loved with his whole heart. He was a generous and giving man. He loved to be around animals and nature. He was an amazing cook and gardener. He was the life of every party and lit up the room with his smile. I am honored to be his daughter. As I move forward, I take comfort in knowing that my father touched many people's lives and he will always be with me. Thank you, dear friends and family for your love, support, and kind words during this time.
Dad,
I miss you so much. I feel like our time together was cut way too short, but I am truly grateful for the time we had and the memories we shared. I will carry you with me, in my heart, always.
Love you bunches, Aimee
David,
You were my friend from the day my family moved to California. We shared many good times, and I shall truly miss your smile, wit, and friendship. Although some time passed between our meetings, we never missed a beat catching up on family and events. I shall always cherish our friendship.
David,
I knew something was amiss when I stopped hearing from you . When I lived in San Jose we had some great times together and I shall remember them fondly al!ways. Sincere condolences to your loved ones.

Today marks a year since my father's passing. I still have moments where I want to pick up the phone and tell him about my day or something the kids did. Fall is my favorite. My dad took me to the Halfmoon Bay Pumpkin festival every year. I still love to go. Sundays were meant for football; my dad was the most animated fan. I remember our touchdown dances, screaming at the TV, our Superbowl parties, and the 9ers victory parade. When my dad was in the ICU, I asked the nurses to put football on in his room, so he could hear his 9ers winning. Sunday football without my dad is bittersweet. I want to text him about our team, about Drew's Bills... I miss our trash talk. I didn't realize that putting up decorations this year would be triggering, but I remember so vividly driving home from the hospital late at night, coming back to our home that was lit up in Halloween lights. It's true that grief never leaves you, it just changes over time. Our Biden/Harris yard sign came in the mail yesterday. I'm going to put it out today and I know my dad would be so proud that I share his values. There's so much I miss about my dad, but I know that he's with me everyday
