There are so many beautiful memories for us. One I have been thinking about was in Napa Valley that will forever be between us. I love you forever.  Rest In Peace my love.  Know you are always on my mind and every time I see our boys or grandchildren I am reminded of the beautiful family we created together ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Today is my first Thanksgiving without this amazing man in 30 years.  My life with you Dave was amazing.   I am so thankful for all the wonderful years we had.  My heart is broken 💔.  I hope you’re at peace.  Being without you hurts. You always made this day so great.  We had so many fun times even when we didn’t eat until 9:00 pm in 2007 because the oven got turned off in error.  Glenn’s fault. 🤣.   I am forever your wife and not even your death can change that.  Until we are together again just please know I love you and I miss you so much. 

He was a great brother in law. When he would come to Arizona we would talk and just hang out. He was an awesome man and I will miss him very much.

Dave was my uncle.  He really became active in my life about 12 years ago when I was enetering adulthood. Dave took me under his wing as a Farmers Insurance agent, a decision that inevitably changed my life immensely for the better. 
My favorite memory with Dave was about 6 months after working for him.
As a 19yr old kid, he took me on a weekend trip to his old alma mater, The University of California. It was an unforgettable weekend watching the Cal Bears football team whoop down on Tennessee.  It was a huge game at the time, and Dave was ever so proud to show me around his old stomping grounds.  We screamed and hollared like crazy as Cal beat Tennessee. He drove me around the campus and around town to his old hangout spots, even metup with an old college buddy of his.  With my fake ID we took the train into San Francisco for a night of partying.  Whose going to question a kid with his 55yr old uncle, right!? First he took me to his favorite Steak House that I think his dad had taken him too.  I only wish I remembered the name as it was incredible.  Then we wandered around town from club to club, truly a night I'll surely never forget!.. even with all the drinking hehe. But in all seriousness,  that trip was so special to me. Dave had said he took me on the trip to show me the freedom the career of insurance had to offer,  and boy did it stick with me. To this day I tell this story to my new recruits. I feel so lucky to have gotten to know Dave on a professional and personal level.  He always treated me like "one of the guys", not just a 19yr old kid trying to figure things out in life. 
I love you Dave and I'll do my best to continue to make you proud. I will be cheering on for the Bears for you!! 

Love, 

Matthew Ulrich

DAVE AND I SPENT 29 YEARS TOGETHER. I WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO SHARE ALL OF MY MEMORIES BECAUSE I HAVE SO MANY.  WE WENT THROUGH SOME TOUGH TIMES OVER THE YEARS BUT WE ALWAYS PULLED OUT OF IT BETTER AND STRONGER TOGETHER.  LIVING LIFE WITHOUT HIM WILL BE A CHALLENGE.  WE WERE BLESSED WITH 2 GREAT SONS, A DAUGHTER IN-LAW WE LOVE DEARLY AND A GRANDDAUGHTER.  HE WAS A VERY HAPPY MAN WHO LOVED US ALL WITH EVERYTHING HE HAD.  HE PROVIDED US A WONDERFUL LIFE.  MY WORLD IS FOREVER CHANGED.
