Time to Say Good-bye
December 4, 2009 | Family
Sometimes it’s hard for a professional writer to find the right works. Today is that time for me.
Studs’ 89 year old dad peacefully passed away this past Monday. A devout Catholic, Dave was a man filled with love and humor which he needed while he and his lovely wife Ruth raised their nine children. He loved to sing and for 25 years belonged to a barbershop quartet and chorus, The Singing Men of Note, where he sang lead and bass.
Even though today we must say good-bye, Dave and the kindness he showered on me the few years I knew him has effected my life for the better. His generosity and patience are traits I aspire to.
I’ll miss you, young Dave. May you rest well.

Sloane, your tribute to Stud’s father, Dave, is truly wonderful and causes me to wish I had the privilege of knowing him.
My heart goes out to you, Ruth, Studs and the rest of the family, at this difficult time.
