Dear Val and family,
Please accept my and my daughter Liza's sincere condolenses. Dave was a part of a great time in our lives. None us can ever again have what we all shared on those many fields, so many years ago. Such a special time. One tends to forget what was a way of life in college. He is the first of us to go. He will be missed. Take care.

Dear Val and family,
Grieving is very natural and takes time, but to some extent you gain strength through mourning. I can only imagine how difficult is to lose Dave and to have to raise a family as a single Mom. If you ever need anything please feel free to ask. There will be people ready to help you. Always live your life remembering Dave is looking down and still loving you.
We all share in your loss. Dave was a great guy and a great man.

Valerie, Johnathan, Christina, and Patrick,
As you move forward with your lives and remember Dave as a husband and father, also remember him as a friend to many, many, people. Dave had a decency and humanity that made people comfortable. Time did not change the feelings we all had toward him and time will not erase the good things Dave did in his life. Find comfort in each other and in the memories of this decent man. My family will think of you often and pray for your well-being.

Dear Val & Family,
My deepest sympathies as we all mourn the loss of Dave. From our college days Dave has always been a great teammate, true-blue friend + a brother. Dave + I shared many fond memories at Glassboro playing on the World Champion frisbee + hockey teams. Most impressive about Dave was his impeccable integrity + unselfish modest ability to care for others first along with his fierce determination + authentic trustworty optomist attitude. Dave's standards and qualities added to natural winner in life. I'm sadly sorrowed + miss Dave with all my heart.
ALLways my love to Flood Family...

Dear Val and family,
Your husband and father was a man that was a friend to those of us who knew him through thick and thin. When I arrived at Glassboro in 1978 Dave was my third roommate in a small dorm room, and he made a cramped situation liveable. He was a loyal friend and he along with Bob Marano, introduced a very naive and unstable young man to friends that I will have for the rest of my life. Dave was a great part of the close friends that we call lovingly the "Boro family". I will miss his great exuberance for life, his gusto, his drive, and his stubborness to protect and stand by his friends, in any situation. He did this for the best reason a man can have, because in fact he was a great friend. When visiting Dave this past month I was amazed by his and your strength Val. My wish is that your children will remember that in those hard times that strength from both of you is in their genes. They will make you and Dave prouder than you already are of them, for they had a great man pave the road to honor and respectability for them. All my love and prayers go out to you all.

Valerie and Family,
So very sorry to hear about your loss. You've all handled this trying time with such grace and dignity. Our prayers, thoughts, and sympathy are being sent to you from all across the country, because Dave touched many lives over the years. Right now I'll bet he's explaining the Boro Ultimate zone defense to St. Peter.
God Bless you all, Johnny Hod

Dear Val and Children,
I am both deeply saddened and tremendously honored to be signing this guestbook. I knew Dave as a collegian, athlete and fun-loving Boro Boy. We had many lively times together at Glassboro and I will never forget him. Please know that my prayers, as well as those of all who knew him, will be with you and the kids forever. God Bless you all!

To Valerie and family,
You didn't meet me, but I've been a colleague of David's the past 4 years. David was very positive and upbeat about his illness and was very inspiring to me.
He will be missed because I also felt he was a true friend. Our prayers go out to you and your family.

Valerie, Jonathan, Christina, and Patrick - my heart goes out to each of you during this most difficult time in your life. David was a kind, fun-loving, caring man that was eager to listen and help whoever he could, whenever he could. His love and commitment to each of you was evident in all he said and did.
I know that David loved each of you and cherished you dearly and he was aware and understood how much each of you Loved him.
David had a conversation with me one day where he said that the suffering he had to go through was worth it. Not because he was guaranteed to get better, but because it gave him more time with each of you and others that he cared for. He was grateful for the time and wanted to make sure your needs were being taken care of,
the best that he could. During this time, David did not complain, he did not blame, he did not get angry. He trusted that God was in control and he was grateful for the years God blessed him with. His outstanding question to me was always; what more could he be doing and what should he do. He was more concerned with doing the right thing for each of you and others than the difficult battle / trial that he was facing.
It is no wonder why so many others have such fond memories of David and love for David, as each of you do.
I had the honor of praying with David one night at your home where he re-affirmed his faith and trust in Jesus Christ as his Lord and savior. There were some things he was confused about, as we all are, however, his Christian beliefs were foundational. I believe David is at peace and at his new home with the Lord. We will all miss him as we continue on in this life, fulfilling the purpose God has for us. But when God calls us home once our tasks on this earth are complete, we will see David again.
That will be a day of great joy.
My condolences to each of you during this most difficult time.
I will miss my friend.
Love in Christ,
Jay Smart

Valerie & the Kids,
Some of my favorite memories of the past few years since I met Dave were the Saturday morning bike rides with him and the gang. I will cherish those memories with him forever. I pray that God will give you the strength to carry on. Just remember, all his pain and suffering are gone, and right now he's probably on a bike flying up the mountain roads in heaven going faster than he's ever gone before. You are in my prayers.

Dearest Valerie, Johnathan, Christina, and Patrick,
My heart truly reaches out to you all right now. I understand the pain that you are going through, and if I could take any of it away from you I would. I want to send my deepest love and sympathy to you all. Please have faith that Dave is still with you and always will be. I pray that you will see some special signs from heaven in the days and years to come. As hard as it is right now, try to remember that death is not a period, but a comma in the story of life.
I love you all and am here for you if you need ANYTHING at all, please let me know.

To Valerie, Jonathan, Christina and Patrick and to Jack and Darlene,
I am so sorry. I wish I could be there to comfort you in your grief. Sometimes life seems so unfair. David was such a good and kind-hearted person. He was also one of the most unselfish people I have ever known. He did not complain about his illness. Instead, he handled all the treatments and surgeries with such grace, dignity and strength. When we saw you all at Jack's house and David this past summer, he was more concerned with what was going on in our lives than for himself.
It seems like only yesterday we were kids at each others houses, David making me laugh with his quick Irish wit.
Please know he has been constantly in my prayers and I have added his name to our Chapel book. The Sisters of Charity will pray for David and for all of you.
I miss him, and can only imagine how difficult this must be for you. Please keep in touch. Our family will always be here for you.
God bless you,
Susan Irene Flood (LeVan)
