P. Dave S gave his wife Carol flowers because she will not be able to attend the incoming President Induction Ceremony next week to receive them.
This weekly meeting was very somber. We lost PP Dave Eagle. He was a part of our club that was the fabric of what we stood for. PP Dave E. was always the person who would give 200 % of himself. A very selfless person who was always there for you. Personally he made me feel like family the first time we met. I will miss him greatly. We are all very lucky to have had PP Dave E. as part of our lives. He was a class act to the very end.
