David Podell

To Dave's family:

I am so sorry to learn of Dave's passing. I remember him vividly from my trips on RAGBRAI over 10 years ago. Those were some of the best memories I have ever had, and Dave's generosity in making those trips a reality were the reason. Even though I have not seem him for many years he made such a powerful impression on me. He was a beautiful man. A great guy to talk to, with great wisdom. (Man do we need more people like him!) I feel so lucky to have crossed paths with...

To Dave,
Thank you for all you were able to accomplish in your life. It was a pleasure to have worked beside you to help the people of Hebron. We met so many times at the Cancer Center while you and my dad received treatment. Our thoughts and prayers are with Judy and your family during this time of sadness.

Judy,

My deepest condolences to you and your family. Our poker group had the pleasure of playing cards with Dave for many years. He will be greatly missed.

Dear Judy and family-
We are so sorry for your loss. We would always see you at Sandy and Joel's parties and so enjoyed our talks with your husband. He will be missed.

I am deeply saddened to learn of Dave's passing. We spent many days and nights studying for paramedic. He inspired me to continue trying. I am a better person for knowing him. My prayers are with your family.

Dear Judy and Family, Dave chose to help people as a career. We are especially indebted to him for encouraging and mentoring our son Aaron to employment at Hunters Ambulance. May his love of life and others be a comfort to you.

Dave WAS a truly sepcial person and mensch. I enjoyed working with him at Hunters and Middlesex. He deeply cared about his patients and his co-workers, and especially his family. He will truly be missed.

Judy,
We have Dave's space all set up in the office - He will always be here with us!

Mrs. Podell and Family:

I will sorely miss Dave. During our short time together, his compassion and his steadying influence on co-workers, patients, and those he came into contact with was an example I can hope to live up to.
