Davin, as a father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend, you will never be forgotten and will live on in our hearts. “Take these broken wings and learn to fly, all your life, you were only waiting for this moment to arise� A “Celebration of Life� is to follow, for details please contact toddreid@gmail.com
