Dear Leary Family-
We are so sorry for your loss, Our family will be forever thankful for getting to know Dave- over the past several years we have listened to him talk about his family, his memories, his bride and so many other things. While others loved his stories, my favorite was going to the lawn sales! He was a joy for all of us, once you met him, you were hooked, he was the kindest and most helpful man there was- always there to help everyone! He will be greatly missed! ♥️ Colette
I loved my Fridays with Dave a kind man and he married the love of his life. And I know you are with her now laughing and enjoying your selves to be together again. Going to miss you Dave and Addy. Love Judy ❤️
Dad
It is difficult to explain what you mean to me .. many of your friends from Hobe Sound called you the pillar of the community .. the definition of pillar is an individual who is highly dependable, supportive and foundational to a group or family .. .. I am proud to be your daughter thank you for listening , for the lessons I didn’t know were, for the unconditional love and support.. Thank you your patience and showing me the small special things I may have missed .. .. checking the mail , taking walks after dinner , stopping to pick up a palm , and to scratch black kitty .. if was troubled .. you would say Don we have been in tougher spots than this , we will get through it together .. you are the man Dave !!
Peace and Love from your favorite daughter XOXO Donna
