Uncle Dave and Aunt Gert were a unique couple...always such fun to be around at family gatherings and I can still hear them both singing in the kitchen at Grandma Karp's where everyone gathered for family parties. Will never forget either of them, they are "special" people and will live on in our hearts forever. Happy they are finally together in one anothers arms. They will both be missed. Roberta Lyles

12/12 I first met Dave at Lisa's college
graduation, then again at her wedding to my son Erik and also at Jeff and Kristin's wedding. He was always a delightful and interesting person to chat
with and I know he will be very missed.
You all were so very lucky to have him
for such a long time and I am very grateful that my granddaughters Megan and
grace were able to know him too. My thoughts and prayers are with you all tomorrow as you lay him to rest.
with best regards,

12/12 Dave was the grandfather of my
daughter-in-law Lisa and great grandfather to my Megan and Grace. I really enjoyed his sense of humor and
his joy of life the few times that I did spend time with him. I know that the family misses him badly and will remember G.G.Pa always with love. My
best wishes to all the Beyer family.

I remember Dave from way back when I was a little girl, he was always so kind to me bringing me baby ducks at Easter and taking me to Christmas parties at the bank and always just being there for me as I was growing up. I have so many fond memories of him and my sister Gert. All my love.

I too, remember the Millbrae house and the walks near the train tracks, probably too young to be on or close to the tracks, so near the tracks. Christmas with the frocked tree and the rotating light; meals together with aunts, uncles and at that time, just a few cousins, and Grandpa puffing on his pipe. Lots of laughs over adult beverages and the family picnics. Goodbye Grandpa, peace with you and Grandma. Coline

Hello cousins....I am sorry to hear of Uncle Dave's passing. I have fond memories of going to the Millbrae house on Sunday afternoons, walking on the train tracks. Your parents are once again having cocktails with mine, singing songs and carrying on like the old days. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Love from Cousin Bernadette
