Our heart goes out to you and know that your family is and will remain in our prayers, I lost my brother last July to liver cancer and our seven year old grandson in September to an agressive form of Leukemia. It is only with the strength of our faith, family, and friends that we are able to cope with the heartache and loss. We look forward to the day when we will see one another again. My prayer is for strength in the saving knowledge of our Lord, Jesus Christ. May God be with you...

I had the pleasure of working with Dave many years ago at the photo lab in Kaukauna and he was the highlight of my time there. He could always make us laugh. Wishing you Christ's peace as warm memories fill the space in your hearts left by Dave's passing.

I worked with Dave a lot when I was editor of Correspondent magazine and he was taking all of our wonderful photos. Dave was such a talented, positive, supportive force, and he was undoubtedly one of the kindest, best people I have ever worked with. I learned a lot from him.

Karen, Dave was a classmate of mine, from grade school at Trinity through high school at FVL. He was our photographer for our wedding. Very wonderful guy. Hoping you find comfort in the knowledge that he is in heaven with Our Lord.

I worked with Dave for several years at AAL/Thrivent and realized how talented he was--not just as an artist, but as a human being. He was always ready to help and to consult. His sense of humor and kindness were right there in each conversation. May your good memories sustain your family during this time of loss.

Karen and family, working with Dave all those years was a pure pleasure. My day was always a little brighter when I met Dave in the hall or had lunch with him. It's truly amazing how God gifted him and how wonderfully he used that gift. Deb and I will miss him. Let us know how we may help in the days ahead.

Dear Kaphingst Family,
Victoria and I were in San Diego and we saw Dave the evening before taking our pic taken with Casting Crowns but with him hiding behind the lens we didn't connect. The LORD is good, his love endures forever! I pray the consolation of the resurrection continues to bless and keep you even as the saints lift you up in our prayers. Sincerely in Our Savior,
Andre and Victoria Frandle (aka Vicar)
