DAVID MYERSCOUGH FAMILY

SWEET BABY PAIGE






MY THOUGHTS ON UNCLE DAVE
A man I will never forget, a human being I will always remember.
Dave measured his success simply by how he could help others, and while that is what we all like to measure ourselves against, he is one of the very few individuals who actually lived up to that standard. He lived to help others. No matter the situation or circumstance, you can distill almost everything he did in life to that very notion of helping others; through providing happiness, guidance, assistance or love. And that is what will make our Dave live forever. I was just one of the many who was blessed to have Dave in my life, and as a result I will always remember the things he taught me along the way. To say he had a “presence” is an incredible understatement. Dave was a “force” that I was lucky enough to experience, and because of his enormous impact on my life, I have a feeling that “force” will be present throughout my life, in good times and in bad, because those are the times that Uncle Dave made sure he was part of. Uncle Dave, I thank you from the bottom of my heart and with all I have, for all that you have added to my life, all the help and guidance you have provided, and all the love that you have given. I love you always!

I have so many great memories of fun times spent with Dave. Golf in Hawaii, wine tasting in Napa, and dinner in New York, Barbeques, watching football, being neighbors….It is while we were neighbors that we really got to know each other. While Dave and Pinkie’s house was being remodeled they rented a condo right next to Heather and Tod’s condos. While they lived there Dave and I would go to the hot tub together almost every night. We had great conversations and Dave taught me a great many things.
One night when we were having a Barbeque, Dave decided to head to the hot tub before dinner. After around 3 hours had passed and Dave had not returned, Heather and Pinkie started to get worried about where he was. They headed over to the hot tub to look for him and discovered him giving investment/business advice to 15 young men at the hot tub. That was Dave doing one of the things he loved most, mentoring. Whether it was guest lectures at the countries most prestigious business schools or at the hot tub on a Saturday afternoon, Dave loved to share the wisdom he had gained with anyone who would listen.
I will miss Dave more than I can say and I only hope that I am able to remember all that he has taught me, and live up to his example of a great man, husband and father.

To the HAMMER, we will miss you dearly and you will NEVER be forgotten.
Today, I was reflecting on an adventure I will always remember. Well maybe it was my adventure, it was a common golf outing for Dave. I never really got to know Dave as I did that day when he invited me to golf with him. I learned he was Extremely competitive not only with others but himself. He had such high standards of himself that he just would curse at himself when the shot did not go his way. On the other hand he also was free to give me advice on my game. It did not matter that he just smashed his putter on the putting green when he missed the putt he would offer some insightful input on how I might swing a little different. Of course this was because he was loosing at the time.

It was also on that day he took me to dinner and gave me fatherly advice. The advice was great, however as you know, when Dave was driving NEVER get him talking. Both hands may come off the wheel and he always concentrated more on the discussion than the driving. This was yet another adventure I will always remember. However, it was the love and respect that we will never forget. He always treated me and our family with the most respect even during personal difficult times.

Uncle Dave, I am going to miss you and the times you took us to the beach!

Uncle Dave,

I will forever remember all the goofy grins you shot at people and your all around spunky behavior. I enjoyed all of our lunches together and wish we hade more time to have those "dates" as you called them. You were the one person after my dad who sat and listened to things I had to say and listen to my hopes and dreams and tried to figure out ways to make them come true. You always had positive feedback for me which I appreciate more than you could have imagined. Though house hunting for over a year was a nightmare, I always had a good time with you around. Joking about your God awful driving skills is still occuring! You helped my family so much after daddy died and there is no way I can come close to paying you back for that. You were the thread that kept us together and we all appreciate it so much. I love you Uncle Dave, not a day will go by where I don't think of you.

Uncle Dave, I’m going to miss all the times the family would come over to the beach house and you cooking your beans! “Dave’s Beans”! Love Dakoda Myerscough Side note from Sissi-Dakoda told me he would like to open a restaurant named Mivie’s. All the menu items would be family recipes and he has already said “Dave’s Beans” will be a menu item! If you ever see a restaurant named Mivie’s, stop in for Dave’s Beans!

Uncle Dave, I remember and miss all the times you took us to Ruby’s to get hamburgers and then brought us back to the beach house. I will miss the times when you would turn on all the beach lights so I could go out on the beach with a lawn chair and read a book at night. I love and miss you!

There are so many great memories of my uncle Dave, but the most significant was at my wedding when he danced with me. He whispered in my ear that he wished my dad could be dancing with me but he was honored to be there in his place. I was honored to have him in my dad’s place that day and every day there after. love from Annette
With all of our love,

My children and I were lucky enough to spend a lot of time with Dave over the past 4 years. When his nephew Mike passed away, Dave really took the kids and I under his wings and took care of us and tried to protect and shelter us through some very difficult times. I asked him one day why he did so much for us, especially me, after all, I was not his true family. His response to me was that I was his family and that he never wanted to hear me say that again and that in the end it's all about the scoreboard in the sky. I was never so touched by another human being as I was at that moment with Dave.

One of the stories that comes to mind with Dave was when we were remodeling our house Dave was going all over town with me because he “didn’t want me to get taken advantage of”. He and I used to bicker like an old married couple because he NEVER agreed on the things I wanted in the house, I always got the "are you sure", which I think he just did to push my button! Because I addressed him as Dave, and we openly argued like a married couple we used to get really funny looks by sales people and I would tell Dave I bet they think I'm your trophy wife. One day while shopping for windows Dave had really just kept giving me a hard time so I wanted to pay him back and embarrass him in front of the sales person. During our bickering I could see the sales lady was really wondering what our relationship was with each other, I was not addressing him as Uncle Dave or even dad, just David. I finally looked at her and I said I can tell by the look on your face you are wondering what our relationship was, to which she replied, "yes, I am" so I told her I was his trophy wife, thinking I would embarrass him. Without missing a beat, he looks over at me and says "if I was going to have a trophy wife, she would be a hell of a lot younger than you" - I was only 39!
I can’t express how much Melysa, Dakoda and I love him, he will always have a piece of our hearts, and there will not be a day that goes by that we won’t miss him, he was a very special man to us.

I will always miss Dave, we really had a special relationship, he was a brother to me and I always looked up to him and saw him as the head of the family. He was so good to my children & grandchildren and I could never thank him enough for that, which I had told him many times. I also miss his teasing which started when I came into the family.
I miss him so much
