Not sure what to say?

Rest in peace Dave. I'll always remember you and Therese.

I still and will always think of Dave when I hear the CBS Sunday Morning trumpet sound. It's a happy one.

It'll be a year tomorrow since you left us. No way could you, or any of us, been aware of the dumpster fire 2020 would be. I really miss our conversations, and I'm sure you wouldn't have been at a loss for words for what has, or hasn't, developed over the past year. Only recently has there been any indication of brighter days ahead. I'm certain you'd agree...

So many wonderful memories shared with David. I will miss his friendship, smile, gentle voice and laughter. Loved by so many. My deepest sympathy.

I'd like to offer my condolences to the family and friends of Dave. I remember Dave and Teresa very well. Dave worked for me in the early sixties at McDonald's. Always had a smile on his face. He was a great employee. God bless. May he rest in peace.

At dinner we talked for hours like old friends, This obit makes me realize how much we had in common, and what a waste it can be not to pursue friendship when it's...

I'll never forget the surprise telephone call: "Dale, this is David Briegel. We are both unique because we served in the U.S. Army at Ft. Greely, Alaska. Isn't that right?" I confirmed the fact, although my tour, 1972-73, followed his by about five years. But, he was the only other local person I knew who served at Greely. From that point forward, we would share an occasional email about our common denominator and our interest in Ann Arbor history. "I used to shop in your office supply...

Very sorry to hear of Dave's passing. Rest In Peace my friend

Gonna miss seeing Dave's smiling face, and engaging conversation when out and about at clubs or downtown Ann Arbor in general. Such a kind soul to remember him by.
