I'm amazed that there aren't many other shared thoughts of my DEAR brother-in-law. Dave was amazing, as he was loved by so many ZBTHS'ers. He always called me by my admired name "Jackson". I have so many fond memories of him but the most were giving us his great son Scott and daughter Pam, my nephew and niece. Thankfully my sister remarried a man just as great as Dave and is as happy as a lark. I will miss my dear friend David Henry very much but we will soon see him again in paradise, praise the Lord our God.
