Diane & Tomczik Family
I remember David always had a twinkle in his eye when he talked about smoking a cigar with Grandpa John on the porch at 302. And a Big Smile on his face!!

As a kid, I would visit with Dave and he would show me his shoe boxes of baseballs he collected at the Rox Park. Big Smile!!

A bit later in life, he took me to Big Fish Lake and tried to teach me to water ski. He had quite the laugh that outing.

A few years ago, Dave told me the story of the biggest fish he caught on Lobster Lake. Big Smile!!

The last time I visited, he greeted me at the apartment door with that same Big Smile!!

I will miss you, your smile and your laughter Dave, but I know you are smiling down from above!!
