    To Bonnie and all your family – I am so sorry to hear of Dave&&single&&s passing. I remember him as a caring police officer and member of our community but most of all as a fellow lover of Labrador Retrievers. In the “good old days” there was many a time Dave delivered my old lab home in the back of the cruiser and I will always remember his kindness when it came to dealing with our canine friends. Dave was a familiar face on the street for many years and he will be missed by many.
