Oh Captain my Captain! I flew with you as your co-pilot on the majestic L-1011. I drank your margaritas at the Delta Golf Open, I loved being with you as a brother. I will miss your smile, your corny jokes...I'll just miss you. Bless Sue and your family.

What a great guy. Always called me "little Leroy". (don't know why !!)Flew my last trip as a co-pilot with him and wanted to be a Captain just like Dave Reno. He was truly one of the "good guys". loved him and his humor.

Dave was always a favorite Captain to fly "behind" in the cabin. He was a gentleman and a great aviator.

Dave was without question one of the finest men to don a Delta Captain's Hat. His great smile, warm and sincere heart, coupled with his professionalism made it always a joy to work with him. He set the standard for others to follow. May he enjoy his eternal reward in heaven. My thoughts and prayers for his family. God Bless.

He was a wonderful man and all the flight attendants enjoyed flying with him. We knew he had our backs covered....a good friend! Will miss you Dave!

Dave was a great guy.
