My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time. I knew David (a Major at the time)when I was a Cadet and he was always wonderfully kind to me as well as truly helpful. He will be missed by many of us.
In the Spirit,

My prayers are with your family. Dave was a good friend from our days at the 44th in Madison. I had the privilege to be with him recently in Madison spending the entire day Monday with him on campus. He seemed happy and was as friendly as ever. God bless.

I am very sorry for your loss. As a Cadet I was able to meet him a couple of times. I never knew he was from Wisconsin.

My thoughts and prayers go out to your entire family. Daves friendship meant alot to his friends in the 44th, where we had the reputation of working hard and playing harder. You could always count on Dave for both. I am so glad I was able to visit with him when he flew back last month for our reunion. I will miss his friendship.

David, Gloria and family,
I am sorry for your pain. My prayers are with all of you. Dave will be missed by his 44th Gen Hospital family! This country... the world, has experienced a great loss with his passing. He will always be remembered as a kind, compassionate and funny man --- a good man. When God calls our loved ones home, He blesses us with the gift of memories in exchange. I will cherish our memories with Dave and the rest of our 76J and 44th G.H. family --FOREVER!
