My sincere condolences to the Probus family. Years ago, when I lived in Cynthiana and sang in the choir that you conducted, Bill, I valued you, Ann and the boys. You helped all of us to grow, spiritually and as singers. I remember each of you with fondness and respect--which makes this loss so tragic. I am praying right now for you and your extended family.

He was a nice guy and liked to play jokes on people in the youth group.He always there to help out when he could . He was a good worker and a hard one also . He will be missed by all. He is now in a better place watching over us. R.I.P. David

David was more than a teacher, mentor, and director. He was a great friend that I will forever miss. David influence my life in ways I cannot express enough gratitude for. He provided a place of solace in martin hall during and after school by allowing myself and five others to be student interns. David trusted me and the others with very important things within Martin hall that gave each of my classmates and I a sense of honor and importance. David also was always a listening ear to rant about classes or shows stress. I know that many can say that David was an influence on their life. I, along with many others, will miss David greatly. My prayers are with all of his family and friends, especially Laura, Anna and Will.

Mr. & Mrs. Probus, Todd and family,

I am so saddened to hear of the loss of David. Growing up he was such a sweet soul and although I lost touch after school years, I am positive he remained a sweet soul who was giving to others. He was always a caring friend and was appreciated more than he knew.
My heart goes out to you.
