Dear Kristan and Mike,
I am so very sorry and so saddened to hear of the loss of your father. I met David when I went into the 10th Grade at R.W. and we became friends and even dated some during the summer between our Sophmore and Junior Year. He was a very fine and kind person and I will always remember that certain smile he always had. He will be missed by all. May God Bless you and your Mother during this difficult time.

I read with sadness of Mikes passing. I opened the email and closed it as I didn't want it to be true. I could write a book of the fun and trouble we got into together. Mike was a true firend to all that knew him. My prayers are with you in this time of sorrow.

Dear Kristan and Mike, I was so saddened to hear of your fathers death. David and I went to school together for 12yrs and walked home from school with our group Jan, Danny, Ed and Joe and me Neda K. We shared many stories and I have nothing but fond memories. We all played backyard baseball most afternoons in the summer. He was truly a dear friend of mine. May we all know that he now has peace. Remember always that Death leaves a heartache no one can heal but love leaves a memory no one can steal.

Dear Kristan & Mike,
I was so sorry to hear about your dad. David and I went from first grade through 12th grade together and spent many afternoons walking home from Norwood together, laughing and talking and thinking we were walking miles, when in fact it was only a quarter mile for me and just a little longer for him. I had not seen your dad for a long time but when you share twelve years of school with someone, you always remember them. David was a good friend and classmate amd I shall miss him.

Kristan and Michael:
I was very sorry to hear of your father's passing. I was friends with your father from tenth grade through 3 years of college where we lived & studied together for one year.

He had a brilliant mind and a kind, honest & generous nature that, at times, he teasingly hid behind a gruff exterior, until he could no longer suppress his dazzling smile.

I am sure he loved you with all his heart as you were part of his dreams long before you were born.

May God bless you & your mother in this time of bereavement.

Kristen and Mike,
I knew your Dad well as children. I went to school with David from 1St.grade thru highschool graduation. We were in the scouts together and Highschool Band. Your Dad played Highschool football so he only played in the band after football season. I hadn't seen him for years but considered him a dear friend. So sorry for your loss.

Kristan and Mike,
I am so sorry to hear of the death your father and my good friend. We went to school 1-12 together and grew up in the same area. He was such fun and enjoyable to be around. David and I were King and Queen for the Mistletoe Hop Dance in High School. Some people that pass through your life leave wonderful impressions and David was that kind of person. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Kristan and Mike - I am very sorry to hear of your father's passing. David and I went to school (7-12) together and afterwards, got our BSME degrees from WVU together. David and I were always in friendly competition to see who could have the highest grade on our chemistry, physics, or calculus tests. (Neither of us were ever able to reach your mother's level of scholastic achievement.) Your father will be missed by everyone he came in contact with because of his outgoing and friendly personality.
May God be with both of you in your time of grief and sorrow.

Dear Kristen and Mike:
I am sadden by your father's death, I have great memories of playing high school football with David. He was our fullback and I followed his blocking as the right halfback and that sure made running the football much easier. He was a tough and kind hearted guy and a fun person to be around. He was liked by everyone in our class. He was not just a classmate he was a friend. Hold on to the good memories and take pride in being his children.
May God Bless You and Comfort You

Kristan and Mike, I am so sorry for your loss, our loss. David and I went to school together, 1-12. He was a good friend. We played in the band together and had many good times. He was smart, a good person, and a good athlete. Your mother sent us this information. We love her too. Thanks for the website with his pictures. I enjoyed seeing him and his family. You will treasure those pictures forever. Our class is saddened by his passing.
