David J. Stochl

I miss you, Dave you were one of the best friends I ever had. I remember our trip to Minnesota with your dad. I think about it all the time. I miss you so much. I wish somebody would call me now that Susan`s gone and let me know about the house in Lake Sylvia I´d love to go there or be a part of it. Hopefully your wife and Danville will give me a call. I just don´t have her phone number, but I miss you, buddy. We had great road trips and road trips . You were my guy rest in peace buddy.

I extend my heartfelt sympathy to your family. As you celebrate David's life, may you reflect his unconditional love for each of you. 1st Corinth 13:4-7 reads, "Love is long-suffering and kind. Love is not jealous, it does not brag, does not get puffed up,does not behave indecently, does not look for its own interests, does not become provoked. It does not keep account of the injury. It does not rejoice over unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth. It bears all things, believes all...

To Karen, your daughters, and to Jim... I'm so sorry for your loss. I don't think anything can really prepare us to lose someone we love like this. Your family will be in my prayers in the weeks ahead as all of you grieve Dave's loss. Teresa Stephens McCrae (Del Valle '75)

Dave and I have been friends since the 70's. We met by chance while my girlfriends and I were teepeeing his condo. We became friends after Stokes caught us and made us help clean up. The friendship came naturally, we both loved cars and had Mustangs. Friendship was one of his special gifts. He genuinely cared about everyone and made lifelong friends effortlessly. We have remained great friend ever since, something I am truly grateful for.

During my last conversation with...

"Dave and I were good friends in high school and junior college. I will always have fond memories of those times. Dave was full of life and everyone was his friend".

I knew Dave initially through my brother Julian. He was a nice & fun loving guy. I do remember in High School going to an auto & truck show that he proudly entered his beautifully restored small pick up. He seemed to be in his element that day. I lost touch over the years but it doesn't make it any easier to know that he is gone. My heartfelt thoughts go out to his family during this difficult time. Lots of friends & family will miss you!

Doug Wichello & I Mark Van Winkle met Dave in the 1980s when he brought the JS-85 Kuhla & we raced together we had a lot of fun you will alwasy be in our memory

My thoughts and prayers go out to your family during this time. May you know how many people he touched with his smile. You will be missed...

My husband (Chrissy's Grandfather and I were in the room with Dave and Chrissy's mother when Chrissy was born. Dave couldn't wait to hold her. He was a sweet and loving guy and I cannot begin to say how sad I am that he is gone. A light has gone out in the world. I know that Dave is with my husband now, holding Dave's parents near. Goodbye my friend, the thought that you were always there to protect us has not vanished.
