Many of you kind folks have asked about helping with funeral expenses, sending flowers, or making a donation in Dave's name. Working with his surviving family, we have decided that the best way to honor Dave is donations in his name, Dave Busacker, to the public music education fund of the Oregon Music Hall of Fame. Virtually all of their proceeds go to these scholarships. Dave's mother taught piano in the Portland Public Schools for many years and Dave would prefer this over flowers :). Thank you all very much for all of the kind posts. Dave loves you all! (https://www.omhof.org/want-to-donate-to-oregon-music-hall-of-fame/) —http://www.satanspilgrims.com |
