I always thought that those long lines in the sky was con trails from jets....next time I see one Ill have to look closer to see if it aint BigDaddyDave burning some heavenly rubber.
I bet Gods getting all kinds of complaints talking about... God did you have to give him infinate horsepower and torque he drove by my heavenly Toyota Prius and made the alarm go off again.

Goodbye BigDaddyDave, May the roads your driving on never be salted and may there be plenty of streaght aways to let her loose.

So sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you.

72BlckButy · 07-28-2009, 12:32 PM

Yet one more loss to this internet community as he provide some great posts in the past.

BigDaddyDave you will be missed!

Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends during this difficult time.

RIP BigDaddyDave!

redneckgirl · 07-28-2009, 01:59 PM

I always love reading his posts (the Lowe's one cracked me up)

Mrs. Haigler...if there is anything we can do, just let us know. I am so very sorry for your loss.

Longhorn321 · 07-28-2009, 02:15 PM

I clicked on "Find more posts by BigDaddyDave" and found that a large percentage of his posts were welcoming newbs to the site. To take the time to do that as often as he did tells me that he genuinely felt that this was a big ole family and everone was welcome here. I also enjoyed his posts on other topics and don't remember him ever saying anything negative about anyone or anything. He will be remembered as one of the nicest guys on this site and will be truly missed. R.I.P. BDD.

BB72CHEVKT · 07-28-2009, 04:01 PM

RIP. Thoughts and prayers for the family.

Cyclone44 · 07-28-2009, 11:50 PM

Wow he will be missed! He was always in the welcome area making new people feel welcome to the site.....We joined real close together and are the same age.......Really makes you think that life is short.....R.I.P BigDaddyDave....

fordgirl · 07-29-2009, 01:40 PM

To Everyone that befriended Big Daddy Dave, I just wanted you all to know that you all meant the world to him. He talked about this site OFTEN! There have been many times that we were on the phone and he would just start talking about someone that I had no clue who it was (using first names like they were close friends or family) and finally I would ask "who in the world are you talking about?" and he would just say "oh, sorry, I'm talking about one of the guys on the truck site" So I know you guys meant a lot to him. (we have family that he can't remember their names! lol) To anyone that didn't have the opportunity to talk to or meet him, let me just say.. He was a wonderful man.. a loving husband, father, son, friend and the BESTEST BIG BROTHER ANYONE could ask for. He was the rock in our family! and he will forever be missed.
Thanks to all of you that have posted your condolences or shared memories you had of him. It is greatly appreciated. I wish you all well and ask that you continue to pray for our family.

You and yours are in our thoughts and prayers. Its all been said already.. but if you need anything, just PM and ask.
