"I am so sorry to hear about David. He always had a smile on his face and light in his eyes. He was a gentle soul. I know he loved his family and loved playing sports with them. He always wore a hat with California Angels logo on it. I remember his blue tfuck with the ladder rack on it. He always had Fred his dog with him .He spent alot of time in California selling tools and wheeling and dealing to make a living. For some reason him and his brothers always lived a troubled life. He always tried to over come it. I remember him getting into a contest to see if he could win the Tom Sellack look a like contest and he won it. It was a fun life. He was always a giver. He was my favorite Gaudineer. We went to Catalina Island in a small 18 ft boat one day and spent the night there. That is when he lived in Long Beach CA. He always would make sure you had a good time. I have so many memories of you David. I truly hope you rest in peace and that God has you in the compfort of his loving arms. You truly were one of the good guys in this world and you will be truly missed. I hope to see you in heaven. Love your x sister in law Linda Steele."
In loving memory of
David Gaudineer
