So sorry for you loss. Always enjoyed being around Dave. If my memory serves me correctly, we were in Caribous in Vietnam around the same time. He will be missed.

When I would see Dave's name on the rotation sheet with mine I would always smile, for he was one of those guys that could make a routine trip quite special. I was fortunate to have shared just a little of his talent and graciousness that you, his family, experienced daily. I share your grief at his passing.

I feel a quiet sadness, and though I feel he left this earth too soon and regret not having said good-bye, little by little, I begin to remember not just that David died, but that he lived; that he touched all our lives in different ways and left memories I'll always carry with me. David was a good man. My heart goes out to you. Mike Devine (Burlington, Vermont)

I am very sorry to hear of Dave's passing. It was an an unexpected shock. We flew together a lot when I was on one of my commute tours in ATL. He was a very good pilot and great cockpit companion.
Sincerely,

Our prayers are with you and your family on your loss. I always enjoyed flying with Dave at Delta, just hearing his name always made me smile after sharing so many laughs together. My big surprise going to church one Sunday and seeing him there at St Ann's. Thankful memories of one of the good guys, he will be missed.

Dave and I were roommates while in the Air Force stationed in Charleston, SC in the late 60's. A great man and friend. We reconnected in Atlanta while employed by Delta Airlines. I will miss him. John Branch

I am so sorry. Dave and I went to initial Delta training in 1972 together and saw each other frequently on the line afterwards. Always a laugh together, I will never forget his smile and hearty laugh, and joy at seeing an old friend. You could feel that he was glad to see you. My thoughts and prayers are with you. It makes me very sad, especially since I am fighting cancer. Where have all the good men gone!!
