I WANT TO EXPRESS MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO THE FAMILY FOR YOUR LOSS. I HAD THE EXTREME PLEASURE OF WORKING FOR DAVE AND ENJOYED THAT TIME. HE ALWAYS MADE ME FEEL GOOD ABOUT COMING TO WORK. I ALWAYS ENJOYED TALKING TO HIM ABOUT OUR FAMILIES AND ACTIVITIES WE ENJOYED DOING OUTSIDE NU. I ALWAYS KNEW I WOULD GET A CHANCE TO LAUGH WHEN I SPOKE TO DAVE AND THAT IS THE WAY I WILL REMEMBER HIM.

Mrs. Scales, Dave, Kathy & Jennifer -

This is one of those times when words, however insufficient, are all we have. Nancy and I are so sorry for your loss. We hope that in the weeks ahead, the pain of his passing is replaced by the warm memories of a life well lived. He will be missed.

I served with David in the Army Security Agency. David was a great friend and we shared many adventures in our time in Asmara, Eritrea. Dave is remembered with great affection. My most sincere sympathy is extended to Dave's family.

My condolences to David's family. I met David in Eritrea East Africa over fifty years ago. He was a good friend and he always had a great sense of humor. Although we occasionally searched for each other we finally made contact just this year. I wish it had been sooner. But, the small group that survived our tour in Africa will always have great memories of all the good times we shared with David.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. When I was a kid and at the top of the circle, every so often I would end up chatting with your dad and I always respected and enjoyed talking to him, especially about fishing. The good old Farms Village days!
