Although we did not see each other on a regular basis I certainly enjoyed Dave. We had a nice moment on the Chicago movie tour discussing novels we had read. I know he will be missed by everyone. Jeanne and Jim were so saddened and I know the whole Fun Klub group feels the same way. Our best to you and your family...always.

I just heard about Dave's passing. I had lost touch with Dave after high school, but I remember his infectious humor and warm wit. He was a person whose presence made you feel good.

Dave Sparks was an intelligent, honest, dedicated, and compassionate person who lived life to the fullest, loved his family, and had a tremendous self-deprecating sense of humor. It has been an honor and privilege to have called him "my friend" for the past 33 years. God Bless you Dave. I will miss you tremendously.

Dave was probably my best male friend. His humor, honesty, integrity and thoughtfulness were just a few of his best qualities. Twice in my life he made me feel on top of the world. God Bless You Dave and Cheers!

David was one of the finest men it was my pleasure to know. Always ready with a smile or a little joke and whose door was always open if you had a problem. God Bless David
