Tony and I are so sorry to hear about Dave’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with Levi and your family. Remember all the fond and loving memories you had together.
Dave was a friendly and positive friend to so many of us. He was always helpful and inspirational those around him–especially in our sports activities together and working out in the gym! It makes me feel better about the world that Dave Rizzo was in it with a song, and all my memories of him brings a smile to my face and makes me feel better!
I know you are with the Lord and in peace. Until we meet again…
My thoughts and prayers to Levi and the family. May God give you strength and peace in your hearts.
