Not sure what to say?

Big Dave, oh how you´re missed. But you´re now in great company with my Jim Williams, Lauren, Duane and now your son JD. You were all taken from us way too soon. You are thought of daily and missed more than you ever know. May you all RIP. Love you all, Linda Ovalle Williams

Sorry to hear of Dave's passing. He was a great man in all aspects. I was fortunate to be a teammate in 1977 in San Jose. Prayers and condolences to all.

Sad to hear of Dave,s passing. I played against Dave in Junior College, and again at Reno. I was lucky enough to play next to Dave for three years with the San Jose Tigers. What a wild bunch we were. In fact I introduce Lauren to Dave at a party. The rest was history. What we do in life echoes for eternity

I recruited Dave to the university of Nevada where he played outstanding football for three years as a offensive tackle. Dave had outstanding athletic skills and a super competitive attitude. He played with several excellent offensive linemen and the results were winning seasons with the offensive line leading the charge. A loyal Nevada alum that supported football for many years. So sorry for Daves passing as I only heard about it today. His presence will be missed.

So sorry to hear of Dave's passing- he was such a nice man and an exemplary father. Hugs to JD and Adam, thinking of you. Godspeed, Dave....

Such a gentleman, he always made everything feel special. Rest In Peace amigo

My condolences and best wishes to all of the Clapham family.

I'm so sorry to hear this... I worked with him at James Ranch many years ago. He was a great guy. My condolences to his family.
