Grandpa

In memory of David Tavares Sr (September 18, 1928- March 29, 2007)

This man was a husband, father, son, brother, uncle, grandfather, great-grandfather and many more things. He is my Grandpa and a wonderful man. We lost him to cancer this past week and he was laid to rest today. For any of you that may have been able to meet him, you know what a kind heart and soul he had for everything and everyone. I never heard him utter a negative word about another human being my entire life. He loved baseball, so it is very fitting that he was laid to rest today, the opening day of the 2007 Baseball Season. I recently found out that he liked Anne Murray. He enjoyed spending time making puzzles, which he devised quite a system for. He loved his family (every last member) and it was a big one- he has left behind his wife, my Grandma, 12 children, 33 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren and countless others that love him and will miss him dearly.
