We miss Dave and Audrey and all the fun times we had with them. They were a "power couple" with great love for each other and big hearts for all their friends. We wish we could be with you on Dave's Day of Remembrance to hear and share the myriad of stories Dave left behind; there were millions of them! He certainly knew how to live and enjoy life to the fullest! He was always kind, thoughtful, loving and caring, and always shared a big heartfelt smile and huge laughs with us and all his friends. We were deeply saddened for all the losses he had to endure, especially the loss of Audrey and his two sons, in addition to all the physical problems he suffered through. Yet, through it all, through all the sadness and hardship he faced, Dave remained strong and brave and always greeted others with a warm and loving smile and embrace. His upbeat attitude was infectious, putting everyone else at ease in the midst of his pain and strife. We truly loved him as a brother-in-law and a friend, and will think of him always with great fondness and love. Rest in peace, gentle giant! Ride the heavens and the winds spreading joy to all who enter their eternal rest. We love and miss you! Don, Marianne, and Ryan Nicholson

Dave's wife, Aud, was my best friend from our time in Junior High until her death, and I can emphatically say that she was never happier than during those years she spent with Dave, the light and grounding force of her life. Dave was the mellowest, most welcoming person I've ever known, with a multitude of talents revealed in good time to a watchful eye. Love you always Dave. And hugs to Aud.

Many a weekend was spent at Dave and Aud's house enjoying great food, a beautiful pool, wonderful company and a wonderful concert with composer Dave on his Stump fiddle. Dave was so kind and a gentle soul. RIP.
