I was very sorry to see this today. I have lots of great memories of David and Colleen and the whole Patrick clan in tow, when they would come to "The Reef" where I worked as a bartender. Dave was always easy to share a laugh! I'm sorry for your loss everyone..... Dell EricksonSouth Range, WI 02/24/2013 5:46 PM
