    What can I say about Uncle Dave?? He was like a dad to me our families were always so close, playing cards, while Lynda, Brenda, Ellen and I were watching TV on the floor in their living room. He was funny and he loved his family. I have so many fond memories of him and Aunt Eva. Rest well Uncle Dave you will be missed but you are no longer suffering. You are free. Lots of love to you always.

    Mr Caspar was one of the men in my life that I looked up to. He was a fine example of what a man should be; a hardworking and loving husband and father. I have known the Caspar’s Since I moved next door to them when I was eight years old. The family was a constant in my childhood that I remember so fondly. My thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time. ❤️

    David Casper you were a pleasure to know! You were a kind and gentle man who loved his wife and family deeply. A simple man who shared whatever he had with those less fortunate. Finally free of pain we will miss you, but your up there partying with other family and friends. Sour high and watch over us!
