Dave and I have been friends for about 10 plus.years now, and every time he visited KC he always made special time for us to play slots and eat a beautiful meal at the casino:) When i visited Las Vegas, he let me stay at his place, and again treated me like royalty. He was there for my entire journey from being single, to getting engaged, then married, and finally becoming a Mother. My husband and I have a precious, beautiful 2 year old daughter, who ADORED "uncle Dave", and i will have to explain why he can no longer come to KC to meet us for lunch, or play legos with her….Someday. Dave was a wonderful, generous, and loving, kind, compassionate friend, and I am blessed that he was a part of our lives. He will be greatly missed. Elena Manassero.
