David was my mother's cousin and, as a happy coincidence, our vicar for a year at Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Ridgewood, NJ many years ago. As a child, I was in awe of him .... he played the guitar, sang, and led the youth of our congregation with humor and grace. I have not thought about him for many years (I'm 64 years old right now), but a conversation with my brother brought back many happy memories. I remember a song he sang (and maybe wrote with his fellow seminarians) ... "Good Old Martin Luther".

Dear Beth and Becca,
We are grateful to have known your Dad, and Mom though our contacts were brief. They were relaxing times during our visits to Tempe and to Lake Geneva for David and Sarah's wedding. Thank you for your choice of this photo. It is as we will remember him, smiling and reassuring.

When we moved to Phoenix in 1991 we looked at several LCMS churches before joining Gethsemane. Our reason was the excellent messages delivered by Pastor David Pardieck. Always Biblical, always inspired and on point. We have been blessed by his presence in our lives. Tracy and Donna Uffelman
