Dear Dianne,
Winifred and I send our love to you as we hope to see David again in the Lord's presence. We think fondly of the many times we had together at Laurier and especially of the night you had a reunion of those who meant so much to Arthur DeMoss here. What a great time! please know that we think of you often and know that David's wisdom, kindness, and love of the Lord.
With Love,
John Constable

Dave was the most influential friend in my spiritual life because he introduced me to the gift of evangelism, the joy of the Lord, and a love for God's word. I can't wait to see him again. Our hearts go out to Diane in her loss.

I am sorry for your loss.

Although we couldn't be with you in body, we were in spirit as we were privileged to share in your time of honoring and remembering Dave' remarkable life via your churches' live-stream. Katie's eulogy touched our hearts and how Dave's life embodied your pastor's three Biblical admonitions to "end well," what a sterling example for all of us. We continue to pray for you, Dianne, and your precious family as you grieve the loss of your beloved Dave. In His love, Ginny & Wally Carkhuff

Dianne: Dave was and always will be the man whom I first prayed with in my life. He held my hand for 45 minutes back in 1981 at Chilton and we prayed and prayed tearfully. I was saved and drained of all my sins in the time period. It was 5:30 am in the morning before Bible study. I will always remember that morning and all great golf games we had playing from the "gold tees" as he preferred. I learned so much from him over the last 35 years and thank God that He placed Dave here on this...

Prayers of comfort & peace until we see Dave again. His faith & humanity touched me.

Diane I have so many memories of you and Dave at churh in INDY and Brown County Retreat. I pray for you to have peace in the days ahead and look forward to your reunion in heaven.
