David Charles Mendenhall

To the Mendenhall Family,
I am sorry for your loss of Mr. Mendenhall and I apologize for using this means of trying to contact J Dave Mendenhall, his son. I am the brother of Bill Stanley who was Dave's close friend when he was about 20. They traveled to Spain together and spent almost a year immersed in the world of flamenco, but parted ways and lost touch in the years that followed. Bill has passed away recently and I wanted Dave to know. I also want Dave to know that a book is...

I'll never forget the wonderful Mendenhall family reunions at Felicita Park. Uncle Charley and Aunt Nellie were truly gracious people and always welcomed us to their home. I tried to find the house recently, but everything looked so different!
Please accept my sincere sympathy for the loss of David.

A quick wit, a ready smile, an expressive story teller, a great sense of humor, and a caring heart. That's my favorite uncle who I will miss so very much. My most tender wishes of peace to my cousins Dave, Lina and my Aunt Barbara.

A very smart and great practical enginner that I worked with at Ryan for many many years. My condolences to the Mendenhall familly of Palomar Mountan, Robert W. Bowman, Julian, Ca.

I was referred to him by Arlie Bergman, and was happy to discover we were neighbors living within a few blocks from each other in Rancho Bernardo.
David graciously lent me a photo of Enos to use in my article. I recall when he answered his door and I was greeted by the...

When I was seven years old, I broke my arm while roller skating and David carried me all the way home. He's been my hero ever since. I will miss knowing he is in this world. Love from his cousin

To Dave's family and good friends: I share your sadness in Dave's passing. I worked with Dave many years at Ryan Aeronautical/Teledyne Ryan and will remember him always as the fine gentleman and friend that he was to me. May he now rest in peace. My deepest sympathy to all of you.

I was saddened to hear of Davids passing but remember wonderful conversations with him when he came into the store. I know he is now in a far better place.
