He gave me my first rose corsage when I was 4, graduating from preschool because I got in a fight and had a black eye, He followed my education thru grad school. He came across the country to my wedding, and to see my first-born daughter. He talked Civil War medicine with my husband Bill and loved stories about my girls, Phoebe and Lydia. He leaves an incredible legacy of memories with me and many,many others. He was an important part of my families. He will be much missed.

In the 9 short years I knew my father in law, he taught me lifetime's worth. While I knew him mostly as a loving father, I can see how he achieved the accolades he did over his incredible career and the respect and love he garnered from all he touched. He was one of the most thoughtful and generous people I have had the good fortune of meeting in my life and not surprisingly, he welcomed me into his family with open arms. I will miss his sense of humor, myriad of stories, candor, counsel and the love he so willingly shared. May he now rest in peace. Love, Dave##imported-begin##David Ferro##imported-end##
