Well, today is January 17, 2025. I was just checking up on Dave in classmates hadn’t seen anything about him for quite a while and I went ahead and googled his name and I can’t believe I found out that he had passed in 2014. Dave and I were great friends at school and we worked at the old Arvada McDonald’s for many years together, I just can’t believe that he’s gone. I can’t believe it’s been so long since I talked to him or was able to see him. what a blow to my day Dave was a great friend...

I was just looking over some old Clearing House materials and saw a few photos of Dave. And then today I got a notice from Legacy about adding another note for Dave. So here it is, old friend: blessings on you for all you did for others. We miss you!

I too feel a loss with this sad news. We do, indeed, need mor Daves. What a testament that so many of us remember him so fondly -- after so many years. Blessings to all of you.

What a happy, smiling, gregarious guy. I haven't seen him since high school, but I still remember his energy and essence. My sympathy to those of you who have lost him. Cheryl Keim Jackson

The word in the obituary that says it best is "charismatic.'' When we were at CU David brought us all along through the sheer, cheerful force of his personality. I often think of those days, and those wonderful people. Sincere regrets, Donna.

It's been many many years since we were in high school together. David was a great fun friend to all of us. I'm so sorry to hear about his death.
