Dave was a classmate of mine from high school. I always considered him a friend and respected him. So enjoyed watching him play basketball with my brother. Prayers are with his family.

I was good friends with David's brother Phil, and one of my best memories was sitting around a campfire at their parents place while David and friends played guitars and sang. One of the singers and guitar players was Merlyn Wentzel who was a good friend of David's and was a casualty of the Vietnam war. So sorry to see David's passing.

Very sad and shocked to hear of Dave’s passing! We went to high school together and reconnected a few years back on Facebook! Our Conservative views always jived and we would back each other up! He adored his wife and kids and always praised them! He was a great athlete in high school. My Dad started going to the games just to watch Dave play basketball! My love and prayers for his family! I honor and thank him for his military service! RIP my friend! ♥

David was always kind and very polite and nice. I went to high school with him and his sense of humor was off the wall. Enjoyed him a lot.

I worked with David on several programs while at Lockheed. He was a good and trusted member. Conni and I spent many trips to Lake Powell that were so enjoyable. He was a good bowler and we bowled together on several leagues. We lost contact over the years. He and Carol were missed and have always had a spot in our hearts.

Our most deepest condolences to Carol and family. We met Dave and Carol at a campground in Flordia. Dave had the gift of a beautiful voice and playing guitar. He had quite the since of humor and joked all the time. We will forever miss our campsite gatherings with him. Fly High Dave and sing with the Angels.
