It was indeed a beautiful day. Later this evening at the reception, a few of us were comparing the sunburns we got at the ceremony.

Several of Dave's friends got up to speak, and there were common themes throughout. Dave's love for travel, Dave's love for good food and drink, and most especially Dave's abounding love for Jeanne and his family.

He loved well and was definitely well loved.

Dave was put to rest with a cigar, some Guinness, and a set of flight wings pinned to his lapel. If I'd thought to bring one, I might have slipped a Flyertalk Luggage tag in there too.

It's also my understanding that as of tonight, there is a plaque hanging in Dave's honor at the Fish Tale.

Oh, and for those of you who Dave introduced to Babe's ... Ona, the regular waitress, celebrated her 90th birthday today!!
