Not sure what to say?

I was fortunate enough to work alongside Mr. Baltes in the early 90s, performing the role of the prince to his king. He was highly regarded for his acting and singing abilities in Madison and the surrounding areas. I've included a photo of the three of us - him as the king, Lori Larson (who played Cinderella) and myself - as a tribute to his talent and memory.

I was born in 1946 in Madison. My mother used to tell me about an incident that happened a few years after my birth. She received a phone call from someone wanting Dave Baltes to come and play at their wedding dance. Mom told them that she hoped I would be able to do that one day, but that I was a bit too young right now. I continued to get calls like this for many years. I always thought it was a great thing to be mistaken for such a wonderful and artistic guy. COL David R. Baltes US...

Dave was a wonderful friend and an extremely talented actor and singer. He always had a smile and a kind word. He will be greatly missed. Kathy and my condolences to his family and friends. Rest in peace Dave. Heaven has a beautiful voice with them now.
