Not sure what to say?

So sorry Nancy to read about David...., I have recently enjoyed sharing many of his comments in the Vanished Kalamazoo website, and will significantly recall his soothing voice in the background as I was "fidgeting in the dentist's chair"...., of course I did not know all of this until I met you in later years down at J. A. Richards Company....., it was special to meet the "voice" in person!! Thinking especially of you and Karen and send you hugs and strength in these sad, sad days....

Dave's kindness of spirit really stood out, and as a colleague in the insurance business, his knowledge and wisdom will be irreplaceable. Warmest thoughts and blessings to his wife and family.

Rest in peace old friend !

So sorry to learn of Dave's passing. We were in the same graduating class of 1955.

I knew Dave back in 1968and so happy that he had such a great life with all the his family. God Bless him and family.

I was shocked to hear of Dave's death this morning at breakfast. Dave was a thursday morning regular at Theo & Stacy's downtown. Always a smile and a good word. You will be missed by many.

Dave was a dear friend whom i loved dearly. I will miss finding his favorite books. He was a voracious reader. Most of all I will miss his smile and getting a big hug. My deepest sympathy to his beautiful wife and daughter God blessyou both.

Dave was a great guy! I grew up in the neighborhood right by him. He was one of my first lawn care customers. He was very supportive of my business and always had a smile when I saw him. Rest in peace Dave!

He was a beautiful, articulate, well-read, loving soul. Who touched everyone he met with his kindness, intelligence and soft voice. We will desperately miss seeing him come in to check out.... if we have "any good books lately?" Deepest sympathy to his family .
