Not sure what to say?

Pete and I are so sorry for your loss. David was a great person and friend. Our love and hugs to all the family. He will be missed by many. Prayers for comfort in your time of sorrow.

Karen and family. I am so sad to hear of your loss. You have my deepest sympathy. It's been years since you watched my son Patrick Schindler who was in Neil's class too. I used to see David in Krogers. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

David had a great attitude towards life and always had something positive to say. He loved to tell stories. He was a rock and a significant influence at Calvary United Methodist Church. We are uplifted to revive all these memories of David through the years and miss him greatly.

David was a cousin and a friend. We grew up on the same street in Ann Arbor. He was in my wedding and I was in his. We enjoyed many good times over the years. He will be missed.
