Not sure what to say?

I served under Mr. Gompert in the Fireroom of the USS McCloy DE1038 in 1968 and 1969, when he was a new Ensign and Ltjg.

David´s passing is a great loss to our country and to all who knew him personally. In the years that I worked for him, I learned so much about so many things, especially how to see and not lose sight of the big picture. He was a patriot, a scholar, and a friend who made a positive, lasting impact on me and my career. My heartfelt condolences go out to Cindy and the Gompert family.

To the Gompert family. I´m so sorry for your loss, I know your loss is enormous. I´m thinking of you all and sending my love at this difficult time. My condolences.

We will miss his stories and his antics! What a gift getting to know David and Cindy, first as the parents of our dear friend Christian, then as our friends. We think of laughter and delightful conversations when we think of him. He made a huge impact on this world in many ways but especially with the wonderful family he and Cindy created. He is already missed. Sending love.
