What a sad loss for Dave's family and friends. Too soon is an understatement. I worked with Dave back in the Oakland Maintenance Center days. He was always so congenial, with a great sense of humor and a real passion for his work. He will be missed by so many. My sincere condolences to all that knew him.

I knew Dave from Masuk High School and became friends with him through knowing the crew at the Stepney Volunteer Fire Dept. We've kept in touch over the years. I will cherish the memories.

So sorry to hear about Dave. He and my son were friends through middle school and high school. His name always comes up when we talk about our lives on Pastor's walk. He was a polite quiet young man and we always enjoyed having him at our home.

I knew Dave only as a co-worker and friend on the job here at United. A nice unassuming man with nothing but the best intent for the company and Tech-Ops and the co-workers he lead and worked along side. My deepest sympathies to the family, friends and other co-workers. See ya Dave, May you enjoy your new resting. God Bless,-Brianw

I am so sorry to hear the news of David's passing. Although we haven't connected in over 20 years, my heart is broken as his life was so short! I know that God's got him (a quote from my sweet 17 year old daughter). That doesn't make David's passing any easier. Carolyn, Ernie, Jeff & family, Michael Call (my brother), and I would love to connect but can't find your info. I know my Dad, Bob Call, has been in touch with Barbara and plans to attend the ceremonies. Michael has encouraged Bob to please reach out for current contact information so we can connect. My email is [email protected]. My phone is 720 315 3207. I'm so sorry for your loss and I'm so sorry we can't attend as we both live in Colorado. Please reach out personally as you're able.
Love, light and hope ❤
