Not sure what to say?

I had several very enjoyable years with David, his wife Margaret and family. There are several very memorable moments that I have not yet forgotten in as much as I will soon be 75. He is not forgotten here

David you are missed by so many and Jody Jean posts often how much she misses you. I never knew for sure if you were serious or joking and that always kept conversations interesting. I am glad I had the chance to meet you.

A great person from a great family. I had Dave when he student taught at Burton. I know his brothers,and nephews. He had an impact on students while in education and he will be missed.

Our deep condolences Marian and to ur family. Our hearts reach out to u all. Prayers.

David had such a tremendous positive impact on his children, two of whom I coached in fastpitch softball. He also also passed that on to the children of many others. The bat in the woods has always been a great story to tell.

Marge sorry to hear about David. my thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of need.

So sorry to hear of Dave passing. He was a great husband and father. He will be greatly missed. In are in my prayers. Anna bouterse

I remember Mr B. as one of my more pleasant memories of high school; the gym teacher who showed an amazing knowledge and passion for teaching world history (a detailed account of the plot to assassinate William of Orange not in the book that fascinated everyone) and all around good guy. God bless and keep you and bring your family peace.

I had the pleasure of knowing this family at our summer home known as Pinery Park Little League. In fact, I ran into Mr. And Mrs. Bentley last summer at a ball tournament. Praying for peace and comfort at this difficult time.
