Not sure what to say?

Please accept my deepest condolences for your family's loss. May you be comforted by the outpouring of love surrounding you.

David (and Arleen) was the most important person in my early life. He and Arleen helped me buy my first house in Chicago, helped me remodel it, and helped me sell it when it was time to buy another home. He and Arleen then also helped me buy my second home. Without them, my life would not have been successful. His impact on me and my family is immeasurable. He was one of the few men I looked up to and admired.

I'll always remember How creative David was! Hand making a lamp from electrical materials for Jim's retirement. And I'm still using It! You will be missed indeed! Rest in Peace Dear Brother in-law!
Love, Pat Peterson

David (Mr. Newhouse- as he forced me not to call him that) was an amazing and supportive person to me and my family. He was always there for my Mom and Dad. I can remember so many times and memories. New Years Eve parties, Bowling nights, School Board meetings with my dad too!! AND all of the adventures they guys went on and my mom and Arlene too. I believe he started my obsession with Disney movies :) I will miss him and appreciate the times. God Bless you David

David was always a welcoming and solid example for me as a young newly wed. He always was willing to share a good story, a laugh, great advice and an even better bottle of wine!
God Bless, the world could always use more like him.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

So very sorry for your loss, my deepest condolences to you and your whole family.

I am so sorry for your loss. I did not know David - but, I do know Rob. If Rob possesses even a small percent of his likeness and character, I can see that David must have been an extraordinary man! Losing a parent is truly difficult. I pray that your family finds peace and comfort in knowing the David is now healed and at peace.

Sorry for your loss
