Mr. and Mrs. Scheiter:
I am deeply saddened to read about Dave's passing. My prayers are with you. I notified my parents of this sad news. Dave was a good friend and confidant and he always provided me solid advice. Looking at the testimonials about him on this site, he had a significant impact on many other people, as well. Again, my condolences to you and your family.
Respectfully, Colonel Stu Wahlers, US Army, Special Forces

Our sincere condolences go out to all of Dave's family and friends. God bless each and every one of you.

Thanks, Dave, for being one of the best persons I ever met. I'll miss you and your good humor and emails terribly.

(HCCM) admired Dave for his stable outlook on life and his participation in events despite the odds against him. Always a man who faced uncertainties with a wholesomely positive attitude, his example of charity and honest integrity can be a beacon for others. May the Lord Jesus...

Thanks David for some of the early cylinder records you helped me obtain. One of these can be heard on Glen Sages tinfoil.com, the song "When the Birds go North Again".

I am very saddened to learn of Dave's passing. We shared an interest in Phonographs and Veteran Motorcars. I always looked forward to the times when Dave would be at our Phonograph Society meetings. He will be missed.

We always enjoyed talking with Dave at the phonograph meetings and enjoyed his smile. He will be missed.

Not only did I enjoy seeing Dave at Phonograph meetings in St Louis and Union Ill but also at the Model "T" swap meet every year in St.Louis. GOD Bless you Dave, I will miss you.
