My eyes and heart still hurt.  I can't take anymore heartbreak.  I have to unsubscribe to this thread.  For those who never knew Dave, you really missed out on meeting a one of a kind man.  I hope this thread has helped you know a little bit more of him.  I know I will NEVER forget him.  Goodbye DaveO.

I still can't speak of Dave without crying, but I am so happy to see how many of you LOVED him so much.

Has anyone heard from Brock Davidson, Dave was very close to him and spoke to me often about Brock.  I want to call him, but still can't speak about it, I hope he is doing OK.

I wish this Sunday was not the first time I will get to meet Josh.........  This saddens me beyond belief..........

Brock has posted on this board in another thread. He's back in town and planning to be at the services. This of course has him busy catching up from being gone & getting ready to leave again. He's been in contact with the family. (and I hope he doesn't mind me speaking for him since I know he's busy)

Rest in peace Dave and thanks for all your help in drag and land speed racing. Dave O is the most talented engine guy I've ever met and would take the time to give you the RIGHT information. I'll miss ya.

The address where you can reach lauren josh and jake is
88 Stoddard Ave dighton MA and  I believe the zip is 02764 but you could double check it

My condolences to one and all reading this.. especially those that have met and known DaveO... but even moreso to those that didn't.
Those that knew him are the lucky ones.. those that met or knew his family and his love for Lauren, Josh and Jakie are the most fortunate of all.
For those that didn't know him or his ways.... when you next meet a guy or gal that helps you for no good reason.... know that you just met a person that
most likley is getting some kind of influence in their life from Dave or someone very much like him... and don't forget to pass it on, and when you do feel free to say "Don't thank me, thank Dave O" afterwards.
 
Lauren, Josh, Jake & Tim... looking forward to seeing you all tommorow (we're in nowhere New Jersey right now). 
All our love,
Todd and Deb

That's the right address and zipcode.
Is this Little Dave? As in A.D.D. Dave? 150mph Dave? Pizza with the Australian's Dave? :-)

Hey Debbie,

I just left Lauren and Tim's.  Call me when everyone gets in town if you are going out for drinks.  I will give Walt my number through email.  I don't have your personal email.  Or if you want you can post your email so I can email you direct.

Thanks kat   Look forward to meeting both of you.
REST IN PEACE DAVE O
I WILL MISS YOU TERRIBLY!
