Dave Boulton
Dave Boulton died on Saturday, October 10,
2009.
"There will be a service for Dave at 1 pm on October
23rd. It will be held in the Pacific Chapel at Skylawn. I hope each of you can
spread the word and bring as many of Daves associates to the service
I would love to have a full house."
"Skylawn is located on Highway 92 at Skyline Blvd."
"We need to have photos to place into the guest book and
put on display at the service. As Dave is being cremated the urn will be at the
service. If I have not already told you, he donated his cornea so that two more
people in the world will have sight."

stuff." |
