Dear Rebecca & Joshua, it was so nice to see your Dad in 2015. We had a wonderful time in Leavenworth w him & Bob & Rosie Dycus. Good memories always. Know he's at peace now & with your dear Mom. God bless you all. Love, Patti and Andy Rybacki

Dear Joshua and Rebecca,
We have wonderful memories of your Mom and Dad from Germany at Rhein Main. Then with your Dad in Leavenworth, Wa. In 2015 at a Rhein Main reunion.
We remember his love of life, his wife and family and his faith in God.
May he Rest In Peace.

Dave was good friend who I kept in touch with after I retired from USAF. I'll never forget trip we made when he was Chief of Supply at Charleston AFB to drive over to Augusta to view practice round at the Masters. We both thoroughly enjoyed seeing and walking the grounds of famous golf course. PhilBown

Rebecca & Josh thinking of you with sympathy. Hoping warm memories of the one you miss so much will touch your heart, bringing comfort today and love always. My mom was very fond of Dave and the two of you. Thanks for being so nice to her.

I had the honor and privilege to be Col Dinning's secretary at Lackland, and he was a wonderful and kind person to work for. We would share golf stories and Spurs updates all the time!!! I still have a Spurs Christmas ornament he gave me one year, and will now treasure it more. He loved his family dearly, and would often share Josh and Rebecca stories with us! So know that your Dad was proud of both of you. I will always have fond memories of him; and may he rest in peace.
