Not sure what to say?

Dear Barb, I just learned of Dave's passing. I was very sad. I worked with Dave several times a month. I retired jan. 2005 and moved to las vegas. I saw Julie today and she gave me the bad news.I will have prayers and a mass for Dave and your family.Dave was always
a gentleman and he loved his family dearly.God bless you and your daughter.

Dear Barb and family. I retired early from USAirways on 8/1/06, so I was gratefull to find out, yet my heart ached when I heard about Dave. I trained with Dave in my first year at the company on the DC-9. We trained over Thanksgiving, so he invited any of us stuck in PIT to share the day with his family. He was the kind of Capt I strove to be. My heart always lifted when I saw either of you. I am gratefull to have known him. My heart aches for your loss, too soon,too soon.

I'll miss you Dave. I was so shocked to hear what happened. Dave was always a gentleman and always had a nice comment about the training department. I do feel blessed that I just saw Dave in class recently. I always enjoyed seeing Dave. I always remembered the time Dave had invited a bunch of us instructors over to his log cabin home in Beaver for a cookout. From that point on, Dave and I had a bonding the last lasted all this time. Dave was an excellent pilot, gentleman, and all rounfd good...

Dear Barb,
I am so sorry for your loss. I learned of Daves passing just before leaving for an international trip on Monday. I couldn't help but think of you and your family all day yesterday as we flew home. I would have attended had I been here.

I don't think that I ever saw Dave and spoke to him, that within a few moments he broke into that big smile. That is how I'll always remember him.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

To Barb and family,

God's blessing to you and the family as we grieve Dave's passing.

My thoughts and prayers go out to each of the loved ones Dave left behind. He will be missed by all and only remembering the laughter that he brought to so many could ever fill the empty space felt by so many of us.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. So saddened to learn about the tragic event. The Safari Club functions will never be the same without "Ranger Dave!"

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.
