sj...I'm not sure I'd write a general cover letter. Instead, I'd add an "Objective" section to the top of the resume.
With what kinds of things in it? He isn't just looking exclusively at one type of work. He has so many varying interests and qualifications.
I don't think I'd include a letter at all - if your family are forwarding it to someone they know, they would write the letter. And then if a specific position is in the offing, Dave can write a letter then.
ETA: I'd say the same thing for the objectives.

Then skip it. Nebbermind. I also agree with brenda.
I agree with the no letter crowd.
Objectives can be pretty general, like listing skills and strengths that he wants use in any given job. General.
Would anyone be willing to take a quick look at the resume for me?
Feel less allergic soon, vw.
Snuggles and hugs and ~ma to those who need it. I am gronking mightily this morning.
The shirts say 'fewer'. I can't have that shirt although I love it, because I love my smart boys much more.
(I could totally buy it for my cousin though, as long as she'd promise not to wear it around my boys.)
I also agree with the no-letter crowd. I am too brain dead from exhaustion to read the resume, though. Apparently, I'm redundant.
I could have sworn the shirts said "less" last night.
Ah, well.
Kristin's post said 'less'. I only saw the shirts this morning. Maybe Kristin alerted her friend?
I am agronk. I've been up an hour and am still debating between making coffee and just taking a nap.
Firefox lost my profile last night. Grrr. Between that and allergies, nap is winning.
