Thank you for your service to our country and for your dedicated service as a Deputy at LASD. Today, I had the honor of participating in your memorial run with my academy class, Class 415.

Tomorrow I will honor your memory by participating in your memorial run. It's unfortunate that bad things happen to good people, but by holding their memory intact and not letting their death be in vain, they can live long past their time on this Earth. Your sacrifice will not be forgotten. The world is a better place for your service to both your country and your community. Thank you.

We just had your memorial run. All your friends still remember you. We could never forget you. Lisa and her family came and helped decorate your memorial with balloons and flowers. I have a friend at flower shop, Lorena, and she donates flowers to you every week. Dad and I put them on the freeway for you. We love and miss you a lot. I think of you every single day.

Dave, you were a guest coach for IHS Wrestling while I was on the team and over the years I've often thought about how you carried yourself when you visited us in the mat room. You set a good example for young people to look up to. I still include you in the group of LE professionals who I try to honor when I train, I remember you not for how you died, but for how you lived. To me, that is your legacy. May God continue to watch over your family and your colleagues.

Hi Uncle Dave, I haven't talked to you in awhile. You were on my mind tonight. I miss you a lot. I'm in Ireland right now, studying and exploring a different life. I think you'd be proud of me. Today I realized I've forgotten what your voice sounded like. I never thought I would get to a day where I could not remember what it sounded like to hear that you love me. Needless to say it was a rough day. I wish you were still with us and that I could call you. I've forgotten crucial elements of you, like the sound of your voice, and that breaks my heart. Do not be upset. I miss you. I love you. Looking at all of the other reflections, I know that others miss you and love you as well. Lots of love Uncle Dave, lots of love.

It is completely unfortunate and horrible that the California Supreme Court of Appeal actually overturned your killer's conviction!! He will be re-tried in Orange County and hopefully, will be convicted again!!

Hi Dave, Today I am visiting Lisa's kids, to babysit them while Lisa and Bill are at Notre Dame for Leah's confirmation. We all miss you so much Dave. Not a day goes by that we don't think about you. All your friends tell me how much they miss you. The different police officers tell us how lucky you are to have such a nice memorial. We change your flowers every weekend.
Love and miss you a lot,

Sorry I missed your EOW date. I'm stopping in now to leave a short reflection to know that you will never be forgotten by those that love you dearly. You are forever in their hearts and those special memories they have of you will live forever.

"Loving memories we will never forget,
Sadly missed along life's way,
With silent thought and deep regret,
We think of you every day,
No longer in our life to share,
But in our hearts he's always there.

Thinking of you and your family today as they begin another year without your physical presence. I pray for their solace as I know both the pain and pride are forever. As my son Larry was also your brother in green, I bid you semper fi and thank you for your service in the Corps.
