David Auborn Womelsdorff

I read about Chief Womelsdorff's death in the Coast Guard Reservist 3-2023. I want to send my condolences to his wife and family, I was Chief Womelsdorff's Command Officer in the Coast Guard Reserves drilling at Swan Island. He was assigned to the small boats at MSO Portland where we drilled. I remember his leadership and his mustache. He was a good shipmate and Coastie. CDR E.W. Van Buren, USCGR ret.

I served with Dave on the USCGC Yocona in the mid 70's. He was a great sailor, had a wonderful sense of humor, and was a good friend. I know that the recent loss of his wife grieved him terribly. I will miss you my friend, especially your laugh. RIP and following seas Randy Beamer

We were Dave's next door neighbors for several years in Vancouver. I enjoyed our many conversations over the years. He was very kind to our grandkids when they visited, and always interested in how our family was doing. I will miss him a lot. Dave Choquette

David and Nina were our neighbors in Vancouver for many years. David was such a kind man to me and my young family and would often inquire how my kids were doing in life. I will miss him dearly. He has gone home to be with Jesus so I know I'll see him again some day in heaven.

Sorry to hear about my uncle my prayers are with you!!!

David, Now I wish I'd taken your advice & came over ): lisa
