Thank you to everyone!
- Thread starter Krys
- Start date
I also want to thank everyone who sent donations for the flower arrangement, sent condolences and came to the funeral. Dave would have been touched by the outpouring of support.

Yes. Thank you for adding that Joey, I forget things lately
Me too sweetie, me too. All my wires arent connected, or are connected backwards. So typical of Dave to have such an effect.

info about daves (jibits) wake and memorial
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
i figured that no one had posted anythign about this, so i would like to just say what had happened at the services...
dave looked pretty good...right when you walked into the room, the sign in book was there to the right and then some wrist bands that armstrong used to wear when he had cancer were set and had daves full name on them with dob and date of his passing...they were in a baby blue kind of color...
pics set up all on the right of the casket...flowers to the left...he was the only person in the home to have the viewing at the time...pics of him with krys, his cousins, bro's, sister, mom and dad...
black suit with a white shirt, and a few necklesses with crosses outside of his shirt....2 guys got up and spoke about him...the 1st was his brother im assuming and another was a long time friend i had not really met...
all of us that rode were asked to go outside and then wait by our bikes...we were asked start our bikes up when they brought him out...and we all rev'ed our motors...then we were asked to follow the hurse when it pulled out and we all followed for about a mile or 2...krys and her dad along with daves mom on another persons harley all got on the bikes and we followed...then we all turned off and went back to the home...
after that, some people had to take off cause of prior engagments like weddings...then the rest of us that stuck around, went to kopper kettle on 83 and st. charles road...and we all talked...the bunch of us that rode there, sticked around for a while and then left after eating...
dave had some other friends from other boards that he had met and they had showed up....it was a nice 2 nights...
before our small group had left S.O.W. we circled back out with me and another fellow rider in the lead and we went to the crash site and stood there for about a minute saying our own little things in silence and then we headed out to the service...we had 7 bikes in our small group...all together there was between 20 - 25 bikes...

I attempted to give a Mark VIII Salute as I left... but that Parking Lot was so slick that I could only hear my tires slipping on the the black top.
And due to the fact that I put a gouge under the car port as I entered I had to leave the driveway a little ginerly.
But what really sux... I now know the route to Dave's house... All those nights of following Dave or Joey on what seemed a round about way of getting there. For some reason I always could find my way from Dave's to Koppers in the AM...

Yeah, me too Rich, as I was leaving Dave's house ending the first LVC meet I attended, Dave taught me how to burn-out, I left a dual strip in front of his house as I left for my infamous trip to Iowa!
I'd have also really like to have joined the ride out procession with a flow of Marks and Conti's T.C all following Dave's Mark VIII. It was the first time I've been up there and didn't have one. When they brought the casket out, the bikes all revved up...that was cool..I wish my engine was in that tribute, Dave never got to hear my new pipes.
The reporter wrote a really nice article on Dave, his family friends, they don't do that here: http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=49487
Krys, I'm workin n gettin some helium for the Christmas meet!
I really enjoyed meeting everyone, the wake and service were very nice.
Gods blessings of comfort to all.

It was very hard for me to be there. Dave was my brother and best friend and he will be missed. Thunderstruck, the first person that spoke was Rich Dave and him had been friends for years the second person that spoke was me I was his brother in law. I thought for days what to say and after everything I wrote down nothing I wrote was what I said....God Bless You David

Thats sweet Marked,thanks, and thanks to all of LVC's Members who have given their condolances but didn't get the opportunity to meet Dave. I was lucky enough to meet him for the first time via this website and me joining it in desperation to get my Mark on the road so I could get to work. Needless to say, Dave answered a newbee plea for help, got me on my way to work all in an hour or so. He is a great guy, and this is one friggin awesome website.
There is not a day goes by that we don't think about Dave, it'tl be that way for pretty much ever.
Gods Blessings and Smooches!

marked man...
sorry i didnt get a chance to meet you at that time, but i know how difficult it is to lose people close to you...and i wanted to give everyone the space they needed...i guess we can try meeting each other sometime soon...
in the last 10 years i have lost 16 people that i concider family or close friends...3 people alone in 1 year was really hard...and even after those many deaths, i still need my space, so thats why other thenkrys's immediate family and daves family, i pretty much stayed queit and away from anyone...and krys and joey can tell ya i can really be a bigmouth at times!!!!...lol...
i actually have 2 bike rides set up for today and tomorrow...and i have every intention of going by daves accident spot and doing a burnout there on my bike...
dave and krys always went out of thier way, and i had not really had much of a chance to see either one of them too many times this year due to them spending all thier time together...on days when krys was working and dave was actually free, he would swing out to my house and we would ride out from there...or we would meet up at other spots and roll out with other riders together...i know for a fact his riding style and there is no way the accident was from him getting stupid on the bike...absolutly not...i have yet to hear anything about what the cops found out about the bike...
im gonna have to call joey and krys and see how they are doing...it really is a shame this had to happen...he was a great guy...the next time you guys have a meet out in this general area, let me know via pm's or add me onto your myspace account if ya want...my info is here... http://www.myspace.com/whatthereaperfears
i will talk to you guys soon...
