Dear Pitsch family...My condolences to your family for the loss of Dave. I went to CMH but was much younger. My father took me to several games, basketball, football and baseball. Because of Dave I chose to attend CMH instead of South. He was a terrific player.

Dear Mrs. Pitsch,

Please accept my deepest sympathies on the loss of your husband. His brother and I were classmates at CMH in Waukesha and I have fond memories of David even though he was younger than me. I shall offer my mass this weekend for him and your family.

Star,

We met twice that I remember. David and I grew up together and went to St Josephs and CMH together. We played baseball and basketball. I was so sad to hear about David's passing and I wanted you and his children to know that David was a great friend and person all the years I knew him. I used to go down to NIU and spend the weekends with him and he was always gracious and kind when I spent that time with him. I do not know how hurt you must feel, however I will have David in my prayers the rest of my life. I wish you comfort and my heartfelt condolences for your loss.

Regards,
Mike Lingle

Dear Starr,

We have never met, but I also grew up in Waukesha, with wonderful memories of Dave and his family. I was at St. Joe's and CMH graduating in 1969. His family lived just about a block from my dad's grocery store. His parents great customers and friends of the store. I had many friends in the neighborhood and recall tossing the Frisbee many times out in the street in front of Dave's family home. And while this is a sad time, the happy memories remain of Dave, our youth and the blessing of wonderful families caring for us as we grew up.
God bless you and your family.
Sincerely,

Jay Budzien
