Not sure what to say?

Coach loved a good prank. He was gracious when one was delivered on him but he was a master at the payback. I remember he had his "boys" pick up my little Datsun B210 and wedge it cross ways in front of two doors. I had a little over a foot front and back to maneuver the car from the brick walls. And he just delivered that infectious grin when asked if he knew anything about the deed. He was an icon; indeed one of a kind.

There are no words that can ease the pain of losing someones beloved. May you find comfort and peace in knowing that your loved one is in God's memory because those who passed are precious in his eyes. Psalms 116:5. You and your family have my deepest condolences.

Linda, we are so sorry to hear about Dave. Dan will dearly miss him as a fishing buddy and friend. When time permits please give us a call. God bless you.

I'm very sorry to learn of Dave's passing. I would have visited if I'd known. Dave was a very influential figure in my life, from my days of playing Oswego High School football. I remember Dave telling me, when I went on to play in college, that I will always look back on my high school years and find they were some of my best days playing the game. He was absolutely right and his guidance on and off the field helped shape who I am today and I am a better person having had that opportunity...

Linda, Christy, and Merilee, We were so sad to here of Dave's passing. As old neighbors each family member has touched our lives. Dave will always be Coach Babcock and remembered as the ultimate educator. You are all in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. Kent, Joan, Nicole, and Eric Smith

Merilee - I am so sorry to hear the sad news about your father. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. I know first hand how hard it is to loose a father. Please feel free to reach out anytime if you want to talk.

My deepest sympathies,
Mark

The world will be a lesser place with him god bless
