My husband and I got to know David very well the past few years on our visits to Balloon's. When he found out that my dad, Leo Kroker, was a long time employee of Dunn and McCarthy's he shared some great stories with us. A wonderful man and we will miss him, his upbeat attitude and his Ugly Dolls. May he rest in peace.

Dear Bev, Chris, and Lori,
I am greatly saddened to hear Dave's passing. Dave was my best friend and confidant for all of my childhood and into my teens. We shared so many fond tales together and reliving them with Dave was an experience of the greatest pleasure. I will miss him immensely. God speed this good man on his way.

Dear Emerson Family: We were so very blessed to have had Dave as our neighbor. He was there to help our family through some tough times...always a word of encouragement, helping us with our lawn or snow removal when Brian was in the hospital. He would keep an eye out for our children while we spent many days at Strong Memorial. He always had a smile and a wave when we passed him on the road. He was so enthusiast about his collection of 'Ugly Dolls'. He will be greatly missed.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Lori and Chris,
We are so sorry to learn of your father's passing. We have wonderful memories of our days on Belle Avenue and the Emerson family is a big part of them. Tim and Jenn loved hanging out at your house and your parents always made them feel special. ...and then there was Bootsie, your cat who thought she lived at our house! So many great memories. We send our sympathies and love to you all. May God bless each of you.
