Not sure what to say?

I met Krum in the early 80's skiing in Aspen Colorado. Me with my NJ buddies and he with his buddies from Chicago. He came to my house for various parties and he was always alive in a big way. We kept in touch by phone for about the last 10 years and were always threatening to get together with Gayle and him some way. Life is too short but no one can say that he did not live all of his. RIP my friend.

Always a smile, always there to help anyone however he could, always a friend. You will be greatly missed.

The Krumwiede family and our family grew up together and enjoyed Memorial Day picnics, community events, and Christmas Day Open Houses together. We enjoyed seeing Dave and he was interesting to talk with and always welcoming with his big hug and smile. We will miss his enthusiasm but mostly his warm hug and smile!

Krum , was full of life , and I always enjoyed hanging out with him when he came back to LaGrange for a visit . He was a friend who would give you the shirt off his back .

A common link rings true as I read all these loving memories! Krum was larger than life, with a big personality and even a bigger heart! No words can accurately explain the many years, the many experiences, the wild and wonderful times I shared with David!
He cared deeply for family & friends.He had an amazing intuitive ability to show up for special events!Weddings, funerals! Seemingly when you needed him most and perhaps not, often uninvited, it didn't matter! A mysterious loving soul!...

To that great gig in the sky, DK!

Big man with that wonderful upper Midwest twang! Met him by way of mutual friends a decade ago. His love of life, totally infectious. We spent time with him and Gayle in Aspen, I walked some of the roaring fork with him scouting trout. He came through Breckenridge a few times in his candy-apple red Chrysler convertible, top down on a cold, sunny, late winter day. He loved our dogs Scout and Warren (named for Warren Zevon, which he loved!) God rest your soul, Big Brudder. You'll not be soon...

I knew the irrepressable :-) Mr. Krumwiede through his long friendship with my husband, Matt. Jolly and kind is how I'll remember him. Enjoyed a visit with he and Gail some years back and our dog was quite spoiled by him♥. What a sweetheart! RIP.

Krum was a man that lived life at full throttle . As soon as you met him a party was going to break out. Those who had the opportunity to meet him, never forgot him. Buddy, thanks for the memories. Your reputation will last for many years.

David defined the meaning of "free spirit". A BIG smile, voice & laugh were always central to who he was. I envied his uninhibited passion for having fun. Truly a bigger than life guy who will be missed.
