Denise -

Frank asked me to bring up this TU Obituary Guest Book and I think it is amazing.

Just want to tell you that we cannot believe that your beloved
David has gone to his rest with our
Lord. He is no longer in pain. We
love you and want to tell you that
yesterday was a fitting tribute to
Dave, because of you. Be happy with
your memories.
Love,
Uncle Dick and Dorothy.

I worked with Dave at VO. He was a good guy...we took many smoke breaks together. He always joked about not letting me back into the building. He will be missed. My thoughts are with you.

Dear Denise & Family,

Everyone at VO was so saddened by David's illness, and we are shocked by his loss. I haven't met many people who are as accomplished in so many different areas as David was, we liked to tease him that he was a true Rennaisance Man. He will be missed in conversations, he always had an interesting point of view. My deepest sympathy for your loss.

Dear Denise - We were shocked and saddened to hear of Dave's passing. He was a warm, caring person and we know you were so very close. Our hearts go out to you and your families. Cindy Schultz and Billy DeBarthe.

He was someone who we could always count on to get things accomplished. Our community was a better place with him, and I know he will always serve as a constant reminder of how putting forth your best effort can lead to great accomplishments. We will sorely miss his company. He will always be in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Denise and family -

I knew David during my time with ValueOptions and I thought he was a wonderful and caring person with a heart of gold. He spoke passionately about his charity work and was always wanting to do more for those in need. I was shocked and deeply saddened to hear about his death. I hope that you know that so many people are thinking of you and praying for you at this very difficult time. I felt lucky to have known Dave. My heartfelt sympathy to you and your family.

Dave will be missed very much as a friend and as an ELK. He was a good friend who never spoke ill but found good. And as an ELK left some big shoes to fill.

Denise,
Please accept our heartfelt condolences on David's passing. We understand he was in great pain,and leaving us early was what he probably wanted.Both of us have lost family members at an early age (my father at 52, Lauren's aunts at 33 and 19), it is never easy to let go the personal hurt and loss. Cherish what memories you have, they will always be there, even years later.
