Not sure what to say?

Petie - my time with Dave at Rhine Main in the mid 60's - liked by all on and off the field. All the best to you and yours.

Dave was not only a great coach and player but an even greater person. He gave this skinny kid an opportunity to play on the 1967 USAFE Football Championship team and those memories will last a lifetime. God Bless.

You don't always find honorable and integrity in the same sentence. Dave - You personified that and this generation will miss you!
Pete & Kristi Oettinger

So sorry to hear about your loss. I have nothing but fond memories of Dave.

Even though I only knew David for a short time more than thirty years ago, I truly admired his greatness, friendliness, and humility. He was one of those remarkable people you never forget.

Dave and Petie provided a home away from home. Dave's sense of humor and accompanying skill at recognizing when you needed to relax and laugh a little, or a lot, will stay with us forever. This made us all light up when he was in the room. Dave, your spirit will forever be in the room! We love you! Forever!

Norm,
So sorry to learn of your loss,
my deepest sympathy to you and
your family. Sincerely, Joan Mangon Wolf.

I could never wait until uncle Dave and aunt Petie came to visit my family. He always had a new way of flipping or spinning us children. And oh my the stories. He's just a marvelous and talented person that I have great respect for. I will miss him greatly.

Dave seemed larger than life and down to earth at the same time. Many good memories playing golf. Condolences to the family.
