Not sure what to say?

To my cousin David, You are remembered fondly. I wish we all had more time with you. Rest in peace. Kris Anacker

Dearest Cousins,
My heart aches for each and every one of you! The pain your family has suffered over the last couple years, with the loss of so many wonderful family members, must be almost too much to bear.

Meeting Dave has been one of the highlights of my life. I will forever miss his teddybear hugs, his hearty laughter, and those beautiful sparkling eyes of his!

He will forever have my respect and admiration. So unselfish, so humble, and so loving and very very proud of...

I will miss David so much. It was always a surprise and a delight to get an email from him when Skip and I found a new relative on our genealogy searches. He was our biggest cheerleader and we hoped he would be able to visit Germany next spring when our homeland town of Breitungen turns 1075 years old! I hope others from the Anacker family will still be able to make the trip. I know Dave will be there in spirit. Love to the Anacker family. Jeanne Eberlein- Burmeister and Darrell Burmeister

I am so happy to have recently become aquainted with David at the Anacker reunion in Seattle. To think that we both began life in Minneapolis at nearly the same time period and only now got to know each other as family! Life does become a circle. My best wishes to all of the family. Carol

Stephanie,
I just found out about your dads passing. I am so sorry, David was truly a great man. I have many good memories of your dad and Tom at Little Louie's for breakfast or lunch and me at the Mac many nights with them. Take care and God bless. Tony

Stephanie, I am so sorry to hear about your dad. He was a great friend to Jack and I, and even though we didn't see one another often he always took the time to meet us when we were in town. I lost Jack almost 4 years ago and I know how difficult these times can be. Please know that you and your family are in our prayers.

Dave will be sorely missed by all of his friends and family. He was a very special and charming man. Dave had a very warm charismatic manner and he had a talent for story telling. Although I didn't see him often it was always a treat when I did. I am appreciative of the memories I have particularly of Dave sharing one of his many interesting stories to an enraptured audience.

I am adding a favorite photo of Dave and his daughter Stephanie taken when I met them for breakfast during a...
