Not sure what to say?

I was a good friend of Dave's mother and dad, and have known Dave and his sister and brother since they were young. What a wonderful, loving family they were, and Dave's death will be a big loss to his family, friends, and all who knew him. He was a wonderful person.

What a great guy. Rest In Peace Dave.

It was a joy to know Dave, I was able to play drums with him and Kevin Rosendahl he will be missed

Prayers for David and those he has left with blessed memories. May his love and kindness bring you comfort in times to come. He will be missed by so many.

I hired Dave to be a cook at Bensons B&K root beer stand. He worked a couple of weeks then quit. He walked across SE 14 TH ST and got a job . paying 50 cents more an hour at the Standard Oil station. Later he got a job at the Post office where I worked with him for many years. On our breaks we would play a noisy game of Kings Corners in the swing room. Dave was a good guy!

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. Dave was such a wonderful guy, friend to all. He will be missed by so many.
