Gwen and I were in Evansville, IN when we received word of Dave’s passing and our hearts sunk. Dave was a great man in all he did. Due to his integrity in business, our professional relationship quickly turned into a friendship. We truly enjoyed the times we spent with the two of you during our short time together. The world lost a great man on February 9, but heaven gained an angel. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this time of sorrow. God bless you Cynthia, Mindi, Jeremy and Logan.
Gods speed Dave.

To Miss Esther, it seems like only last week that you and Mr. Ray invited some of us over for steak dinners the night of the Jr./Sr. Prom. David was always so kind to me, and I was so touched by your invitation that night. Thirty-plus years later, David remained one of my heroes, though we hadn't been in touch. I hope it brings comfort to you and Cynthia and the family that you will surely see David again in Heaven. God Bless your family. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

I am so very sorry about David. What a fine man he was! I will always remember how supportive he was of me when I was principal at Parkwood. I attended the funeral today, but did not get to see any of you. You are in my thoughts and prayers. My wife,Kathy, also sends her deepest sympathies. The funeral was a lovely celebration of the life of a dear man and overall fine fellow. He would have been so proud of all of you as you proclaimed your faith to others. I know that faith will sustain you in this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Ed Davis
