Walter and I (Bea) were in the Tai Chi Class with you and Dave. I got sick once in class and you drove me home and he followed in my car. I thought you were such caring and wonderful people. Walter and I send you our deepest sympathy and condolences. May God continue to bless you and your family.

Diana, Our heart felt condolences go out to you and the rest of your family. We were absolutely shocked when we read the paper. We had recently seen and talked with David in Augusta. I (Bob) have some old time memories of playing softball with the gang (Jim Ward, Al Kishbaugh, Dave and others) way back in the 50's. As I recall, David was catcher and I was pitcher.

Dear Diana and Family, I am sharing this great loss with you today. Dave was one of the finest people I have known in my life, and he will be missed by many, both known and unknown to you. I am praying for you this week, especially. Love, Jeanne
