To all of Dave's family, I am so very so very sorry for your loss. Dave was the most carring and giving person I ever have ever known. We grew up together, graduated high school together and stayed friends for the early part of our adult lives. Then, regretfully now, I drifted away and never got to know his growing family. Dave's passing brings to mind the old saying that only the good die young. That certainly applies here. My best to you all. And God bless you. Jim Burns

Helen and family:
My sincerest condolences on Dave's passing. I enjoyed working with Dave at Wilcox Press and Vanguard Printing for over 20 years. We shared books on World War II, as well as the love of trains and aviation. We will all miss him at work and at lunch.

So sorry to hear of Dave's passing. Years ago Dave use to help us with our hot air balloon flights. He seemed to enjoy it as much as we enjoyed having him assist us. Good memories.
