Not sure what to say?

I remember David well - not mentioned earlier, a great CAP cadet, where he exhibited his love to fly. He was a great man - and though I had not seen him in years, he is still missed. My continued condolences to Cherry and his extended family.

May you forever have calm winds under your wings my old friend and teacher

I am so sorry to hear about David ... Rest in peace, my friend, and fly high!

Sincerest condolences to all of the Whitmans and Lewises

We were stunned and so sorry to hear about Dave's passing. He was such a warm hearted and wonderful individual and an inspiration to all of us who fly. Our deepest sympathies. Maureen, Morgan and Buddy

Cherry, Wendy and Davie
Dave was a great man, a great cousin, and a great friend. I will cherish the memories of my first flight with Dave ( I think I was 12 ), my first ride in a Morris, and the times floating around on the raft he had build while on Lockwood Ridge. He showed me how to catch and alligator with a fishing pole and the Alligater would come to shore and spit out the hook over and over again. I will miss him.
Prayers to you and your family. Rest in peace cousin David

I don't think I or anyone has or will meet or know a more kind hearted easy going, strong willed, intelligent , honest Man!.
He will be missed by all that knew him!. The heaven's have another Angel. Fly, Fly away into God's open arms!!

Cherry,Wendy and family, we are so sorry to hear about Dave. It's a tremendous loss to your family, Hidden River family and entire aviation community. If we ever see someone with a pipe we think of Dave!!

Non ho avuto il piacere di conoscerlo ma dai racconti di chi lo ama e dall'amore che hai negli occhi quando ne parli so che è stata una grandissima persona. Un forte abbraccio. Ti voglio bene.
