Not sure what to say?

Dave and I never played in the same bands but did get to jam with him at the blues jams. Total pro. We did some of the same benefits over the years. Loved the fact that I'd get to see him play. He'll be missed. Bill Endres

From school to you and your band playing in our back yard, the love of baseball we shared that took us to Houston and Detroit for a weekend series. We will miss, love ya brother! Hope you rock Heavens doors down like you did ours! Love Tim and Amy

My good friend from school to you and your band playing in our back yard, and for the love of baseball that took us to Houston for a weekend series and to Detroit to enjoy the game we love. Love you brother, Tim and Amy. Keep it rocking in Heaven!

My heart goes out to his family.

look for my husband, Tom. He would love to be in your heavenly band!

Dave, I can't believe you left this world before me! You were very professional and talented, I will always and affectionately remember you as Big Worm & the Nightcrawlers! Love ya brother!

I had the privilege to take the stage at my sons wedding with Dave and "That Lousy Band" to sing "Dinosaur" and "Can't you see"... He was in class of his own with a guitar in his hand, and music in northwest Ohio will never be the same. RIP Dave! Barb & Mike Kuhbander

I have so many words to say, Dave was a good guy. He would always be there for you or anyone. I love this music. He was always there when I needed him. He was the best guy. Did anyone whatever meet? I'm gonna really miss you, Dave. Can you be good up there? I'll pray for your family.

I had so many things to say. To you Dave, he was a great guy. It was fun to be around with and listen to your music. And you are great guitar player. He was always there for anyone. You never let no one down. Why so soon nobody knows, but now you're in the Lord's hands. And you will watch over you and your family. So take care, I'm my good friend. Love you always and then you prayers for your family. I love you always
