David E. Palmateer

Condolences and prayers to Mr. Palmateer's family. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. I knew him as a wonderful adult in my life and one of my favorite teachers. It was evident to me, even in fifth grade, that he loved teaching and cared about his students. He brought soccer to Ben Franklin Elementary before it was a popular sport, had us write poetry, and if you seemed sad, he noticed and wanted to know why. He treated us like we were his equals. At ten years old, this puts you at the...

Dave was a teacher of mine in 1968 at Washington School. It was a middle school at the time. He was a fresh out of the box 1st year teacher back then. Years latter i met him again at WMS the year he retired. He was still playing "Silent Ball" there too. As a substitute teacher in The BC public Schools i still carry a ball for the game that I learned back in his classroom. I think of him everytime I whip the ball out to get thru the last minutes of the class before the bell. What a guy....

May the God of Comfort, continue to comfort the family during these difficult times. May he continue to give support and loving kindness, to all. 1 Cor. 1:3,4.

One of the best I've ever had the pleasure to meet. I try to emulate his temperance, but it's so hard to do, especially when missing an easy chip shot or 2 ft. putt. He never seemed to have a problem with it. I am sure anyone who ever knew Dave will miss him greatly. Joe McFarland

Super teacher, was my favorite one! Always kind to every student. He was my 5th grade teacher as well as my brothers. My father
golfed with him and he was well loved by our
family. God bless and
