May the lord give the Dowell family the strength needed to get through this difficult time. Once again softball doesn't seem so important but brings friends together to help each other out. The Pace Electronics Team sends their prayers.

Dave Dowell and Family,
In hearing the news, I wish to offer our thoughts and prayers through your tough times, from all of your friends on the Fan Grabber team. You and Fran both need
to wind down a little, be there for each other and your family... forget about
SSUSA for while. I'm sure Terry and the crew can cover.

The least I can do is let you know you are in my prayers and that CJS EXpress wish you and family comfort during these difficult times. God has a plan, not always one we as humans understand but I believe in his work.

I want to take a moment to express our appreciation for the wonderful outpouring of prayers, support and compassion from the Senior Softball community over the past several days. Softball is a huge Family that we are honored to be a part of.

Dave's Dad is in his last days in Scottsdale after having lived a truly marvelous life for 86+ years. He has seen much of the world and was an avid spectator at the SSUSA World Championships in Phoenix for the past few years.

All four of his children, most of his 11 grandchildren and even two of his three great-grandchildren have visited him recently. Everyone is at peace with this transition. Dave and I cannot thank you enough.

The Hollis Family offers our prayers for you and your family. Audie and I lost our dad a couple years ago at 84 years old. Go tell him that you love him while you still can, even if you think he can't hear you. I cry inside everyday but I know God is looking over him now and he has the world's best hands. God Bless!

Dave and Fran,
My prayers are with you as I know all too well how hard is to lose your father. Mine died 2 years ago at the age of 88 yrs old. All you can do is to make his last days as comfortable as possible. Hang in there Dave and Fran.

Sorry it has been a while since I last read on this site and just noticed this post concerning Dave's father. My thoughts and prayers certainly go out to you and your entire family. How fortunate you are to have had him in your lives for so long and how comforting it must be for you to be at peace with this transition.

To all...I am sad to report that Dave's father lost his fight last evening, and has moved on to Heaven. Although I did not know Dave's dad personally, he seemed like a real fighter, right to the end. For myself and the Sweet Construction Softball Club, we offer Dave, Fran, and the entire family, our heart felt condolences.

Fran and I want to express our appreciation for all of the prayers and kind thoughts from the Senior Softball Family during the past two weeks. My Dad passed away on Sunday evening, quietly and in the company of his four children. His passing was peaceful and the perfect end to a very fulfilled life. We are now joyously celebrating that Life-Well-Lived. Fran and I are both honored and humbled by your amazing outpouring of support. Thank you!
