David Jordan Whichard II

Thank you so much for your thoughtful inclusion here! We lived in Greenville with the Wellcome people 1970-1984 and with an infant on each hip that first year was full of lessons and delights mostly, since I feared a Connecticut Yankee would never feel at home in North Carolina - but there was plenty to do and new friends to meet and the people at The Daily Reflector were the best - straight across the board. If someone from the paper wants to help me with archival things for our...

He was my boss in the 70s briefly in Circulation with Bonnie Ray Hardy my supervisor and his dad celebrating his 100th birthday. He was fine and kind person to me and I never forgot the nice way to a Connecticut Yankee in a Tarheel paper. I had such in my background an my son did fine work for Hearst for years, after his Dad's sudden passing meant a move back to Connecticut. God bless you all for the golden memory and may his fine family be at peace where I am concerned.

I had the great pleasure of getting to know Dave Whichard a little bit while working with him when he donated his papers to Joyner Library. I so enjoyed our time together during those meetings; his warmth and humor made the whole process so easy and enjoyable.

I met Dave on numerous trips with my family to Atlantic Beach. As a Pirate Graduate myself I enjoyed more than a few nights grilling next door and talking about Greenville life. My families prayers are with your entire family. God Bless

Judy and Family,
I just learned of your loss. Please accept my deepest sympathy for the loss of a dear man, a gentleman, and special human. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Kathy (Wickizer) Thaman

Dave was a wonderful, kind, generous man.

Dear Judy and all of Dave's family,

I have just read other entries and it is a challenge to add something new as Dave was clearly loved, respected and admired by everyone who knew him. The memory of him will be enduring and I can only say that I will miss looking forward and to the left from the back of St Paul's to find Judy and David faithfully ensconsed side by side in their regular pew with all other members of the Whichard family. We no longer see you but you are with us.

Dear Judy, Jordie, Virginia, Kathryn and families,
I know it is hard to give up Dave, but what a lot to celebrate! He made his mark and left us with so many great memories and fine accomplishments.

I am spending August in Blowing Rock. Sunday night I was having dinner with the Dulaneys and one of the guests asked me where I spend the winter. When I said Greenville. NC., he said "oh, yes, Pitt County and the home of Dave Whichard".

Please know that you all have my deepest...

Dave was an amazing gentleman, a pillar of his community, and an inspiration. He will be sorely missed. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and all those who mourn his passing.
