Dave and I found each other late in life, but he is/was my best friend and great love that I will deeply miss him until the day I am able to join him again. He will always be my big bear and the ones that knew him, he was a big goof ball too.

The Truckers Last Ride

He traveled the roads
In years gone past
A life he chose and
Hoped it would last.

Driving all night
From state to state
Trying to get home
And arriving so late.

He parked his truck now
His engine has stopped
And those who love him
Their hearts have dropped.

He traveled the country
With a smile and great pride
Now he drives the streets of Heaven
On the truckers’ last ride.

“MAY GOD RIDE WITH YOU... 10-4 AND GOODBYE”
