Not sure what to say?

May his soul and all the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace. Karen, I am so sorry for your loss. Cherish those memories. Love you, Carolyn

Dave was a good friend and great mentor. He hired me for U.S. Customs in 1982 and was a true supporter as my career advanced. He never forgot my birthday, emailing me every year. To Karen, Tim, and families, I am deeply sorry for your loss. Your comfort is knowing your dad lived a full life and is now reunited with Lois and Kris.

Our family is saddened to learn of your father's passing, and we take comfort in knowing he is with his beloved wife and daughter. We have happy memories of our time working together with U.S. Customs in Baltimore, and visits to each other's homes when our children were young. We are grateful to have kept in touch over the years. Sending love and condolences to you and your family. We will donate to Saint Jude in honor and celebration of a life well lived.

He was faithful to walk his dog in the neighborhood. He was an inspirational person and kind. Condolences to the family.

Hugs and prayers!

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. I started working with U.S. Customs in Mobile, Alabama, where I met David. I will never forget his kindness and nurturing spirit doing my tenure with the Customs Service. He was a great mentor.

I would like to extend my deepest sympathy in behalf of the Willette family. Sorry for your loss. May the peace of God comfort you during this difficult time
