I am very sorry for your loss. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to Davids partner and children. I last saw David, my cousin, and met his children over 20 years ago. I was then a flight attendant with United Airlines. During a lay over in Cleveland I had the pleasure of spending time with them. You're all in my thoughts and prayers.

I have not seen Dave for years but when our daughters were "Indian Princesses", Elizabeth (Liz) and Bill Reinhart, with the Cheyenne Tribe, we saw a lot of each other over a period of 5 years or so! Dave was a great host when at his home, he and his daughter were great together, they were a pleasure to be with on campouts, and I will cherish those memories forever. It is sad to see him gone. My sympathy to all those whom he has left behind. Bill Reinhart

I am so sorry to hear of Dave's death. I cannot imagine how difficult the loss of your Dad is for you Erin, Kara, and Dan. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to you, Sue Ann, Michael, Tony, and the rest of the family and loved ones. I am a cousin from the Kelly side of the family (Elsie was my Dad 's [Dick Dent] Mom). Although I haven't seen the Urbanek cousins in many years, David and I found each other online a couple of years ago and stayed in touch. I live in Las Vegas now and am not sure if I will be able to make it to the funeral. You are in my prayers. God bless. Love and hugs.

Stunned. David has been a loyal "fraternity brother" for a lifetime. His spirit of friendship and enjoying life are characteristics that are etched in our memories. My wife and I are proud to have had him in our lives. Our sympathy to the family. May his soul be at peace.
