Brothers,
Thank you all for the love you've shown for Br. Dave Martin. He was a great inspiration to me, my family, and many of our brother Knights of our Council.
He was involved in so many ways in the Parish, the Knights, and Circle of Friends. As for our Council, brother Dave was one of our most active members for as long as God allowed him. He was involved with practically all our activities and participated with enthusiasm.
We really got to know Br. Dave best when he volunteered to help me and my family fold and mail the Wind O' the Hills, in the good old days when we mailed it out once a month.
He was always at Father Bill's Mass at the VA, compassionately helping the residents make their way (and stay) at the Mass as well as being the lector.
Thank you Brother for your friendship, Rest in Peace.
Fraternally Yours,
PGK Manny
