My condolences to you and to Dave's family and friends. That was an excellent post and heart warming read! Thanks for sharing.
So sorry for your loss. Its so hard to picture going without a close friend like that. Great post through for sure and the message couldnt be a better one. Glad you learned that lesson the easy way and not the other way around.
Well, I doubt from your description he had a whole lot of friends either. But if a man has even one like you, he has a great fortune. Friends are made for times of heartache and grief and to come along side us in times of need. If you ever need a replacement for your lost friend... I know I can't measure up, but I am never so busy that I couldn't manage one like you. Blessings.
I appreciate the replies, guys. I really do. I finally got a chance to talk to Dave's wife at length last night. I was worried about this myself so I'll share the fact that Dave had talked to his wife late Tuesday. He said he wasn't feeling well and didn't feel like talking. She wasn't able to get him on the phone Wednesday morning and the police found him in the bed. They assume, from those facts, that he went fairly quickly, possibly in his sleep, which I'm very thankful for. Her parents are there with her right now so at least she has them to lean on for the time being. From the way his wife described the status of the project we worked on, everything is just as it was when I left. He must not have been feeling well even then because it's not like him to make no progress at all. The table saw and all the other tools are still in the dining area, the huge curio cabinet is still turned out into the room where I put it. She can't move anything because of her recent back surgery and her parents are too old and frail to be of any help in that regard. So, my wife and I will be leaving very early Saturday morning. I'll need to get electricity to the dishwasher we installed, finish the inside trim work, paint the pantry we built and get all of the tools out of the house. She said she needed help with some other things so it may be a long weekend, but that's okay. I'm just glad to have the opportunity to help
I imagine its gonna be very difficult to go back there so soon and finish up the things you guys were working on. Especially with it being so fresh in the mind and such. Stay strong. Sending my prayers and condolences again.
