Not sure what to say?

To the Rebenacks,The Brumbacks and The Docks My family and I send our prayers and condolences.If someone asked me to create a prototype for a great coach and an even greater family man it would be Dave Rebenack.He left a high standard for the rest of us to strive for.His standaed of directness and honesty should be a requirement for all elected officials.Speaking of officials,there is probably an ump, or referee in heaven getting an earful right now.God bless you Michael McDonald (MAC)& Family

For many years David was a part of our office "family". We sould enjoy hearing about the youngsters he would coach and revel in his enthusiasm for engendering good sportsmanship in these young athletes. He was a very special person and we were priveleged to have met and shared a portion of his life.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family. God Bless, Jody and Bob Perkins

Karen,
I am sorry I will not be able to attend your father's services due to my disability. I know how hard it is to lose your parents and my sympathies are with you and your family. Your daddy was always kind and funny when I would stay with you. (long time ago) I remember him and his punching bag. He tried to show me how to do it and just laughed at me. What a great guy he was. I will always remember the friendly parents you had. I felt so very happy when I stayed there with you....

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
