I have been playing on the Over Thirty Baseball Yankees with Dave Bernardini for over 15 years. During that time we've developed a strong friendship and at this sad time, I want to do whatever I can do to help my friend and brother.

Last week, Dave lost his longtime wife and soulmate after an extended illness. Since I have known Dave I've found him to be a generous, caring and dedicated family man. Losing your lifelong partner is heartbreaking enough however funeral expenses are an additional burden Dave is facing now.

If there is anything you can do to help, no matter how small, to help my friend I would be grateful.
