I wondered if the family and/or friends had any memorial or plans to have a memorial gathering. I would like to help put something together. Dave was a dear friend and an amazing person who believed in living to ones fullest potential. He supported my dreams and helped foster my talents. I will always remember his remarkable spirit, sense of adventure. I'm grateful for his contributions to my life and his support of my work as an artist. I have so many pictures - hundreds over the years to share and enjoy. I have planted trees in Israel in memory of my dear friend David Shufelt, someone who always stood up for what he believed in.

Dave Shufelt was a good natured and fun guy who had the strength of an ox and an outgoing personality to match. As a young man in his twenties, he would come to Stockbridge and light a fire under the place! I can still picture him running down main street and sliding on his cleats with the sparks flying out of his heels!

I am sorry for your loss. Rest in peace Dave...
