Goodbye Dave

On June 17 Dave Dicus died of a massive heartattack.  Dave was Joe's step-dad. Terri (Joes sister) called me 6 am on the 17th to tell me.  I called the plant and told Joe, I didnt know what he was going to do. He showed up an hour later and we packed the car and left. It took 2 days to drive to Minnesota.  We got there about dinner time on Fathers Day. Everyone else, except for Jason (Joes brother) was already there. Joe's mom, Pat, was still in shock. Dave was 61. The wake was on Tuesday night and the funeral was Wednesday. We left Thursday and got home last night.  We're going to try and make another trip out to see Pat this summer some time, probably in August.  I'm just glad to be home.
