Hi Steve, Here are the details that you inquired about. I don't really know how to say this and I don't want to be misunderstood. I really don't think Dave would want us to waste money on flowers and I'm not real sure that these are the charities of his choice. IMHO. Here is my thought!!! FWIW. Maybe we send something to Carol (to the home) that reminds us of our friend Dave? I don't know, just thinking out loud.

Lastly, you can help me to manage Dave's portfolio. For now, just leave his jzgalt address on the mailing list and bear with me while I ask less than informed questions about some of the things he bought. Give me six months, and I may even be able to contribute something :-)! (Nothing like his 90% returns, mind you, but something in double digits at least!) Thank you all for the wonderful messages you've sent - I've saved them all and will share parts of some of them at the funeral. Carol FWIW - Dave liked the Roast Beef. Keith
