Not sure what to say?

Sorry to hear of David´s passing. I send my deepest condolences to his family. I always enjoyed talking to David about NACE testing during my brief time at Vallourec, Muskogee. RIP David

Bill, please give my sympathies to your family. Just heard about Dave yesterday. He was a great guy always with a positive attitude, fun on the ice, and a really smart guy.

To Bill and your entire Sponseller family, I am very sorry for your loss of your Dad. I met him at St. Thomas choir; he was vibrant and enjoyed sharing his knowledge. He received a speeding ticket on the way home from church after speaking with me and running late for his family Sunday brunch. His enthusiasm for life spilled over to others.

I´m very sorry Anne. He sounds like quite an interesting guy.

I´m so sorry to hear of Dave´s passing. I enjoyed many days skating with him and his family at Thurston pond. I remember he kept a log of weather and skating conditions. I will miss his enthusiasm and will try to carry on his joy for the sport. With sympathy.

My sincere condolences to my brother-in-law, John, and all the Sponseller family. He sounds like a wonderful man. Anita Guerra (Julia Sponseller's sister)
