Mrs Brazelton and family: Just found out about your loss and wanted you to know how sorry I am to hear it. I worked with Dave at LTV in Maintainability. He was always a pleasure to work with and he never treated me as "just" a secretary and for that I was appreciative. I will pray that the sadness you are feeling now will soon be replaced with lots of beautiful, fun, loving memories.

Aunt Marilyn, I’m glad Dave and I got to spend a few days with you and Uncle Dave last year. It was an enjoyable trip that I will remember for a long time. His wisdom has helped us many times. I’ll miss his email jokes and his kind smile.

Dave was a talented, genuine, particularly unique planetary citizen.
It was a real pleasure to have worked with Dave at Vought, especially the time we shared during the JPATS Program effort. My world has been a better place for having known him.

I will always remember Dave as a kind, caring and helpful co-worker and friend. He was quick to share his knowledge and experience with his fellow employees which made him liked by all. When computers were first being introduced into the work place, it was Dave who convinced management that all his team members needed these machines to do their job more efficiently. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dave was a proud member of a club of Miniaturists - the "Green Sock on Left Foot on Tuesday" club - and he was a brilliant and creative artist. He offered wit and wisdom to members all over the world, and we shall all miss him deeply. Farewell, Good Sir. May peace be with your family, and great dreams forever be yours.

Dave was my first boss at LTV 33 years ago. He guided me as a young engineer and served as a mentor giving me skills, especially writing and research talent, that have stood the test of time throughout my career. He was a nice and caring person. He will be missed.

I loved my Uncle Dave, he was practical, creative, intelligent and so important to everyone he met. Although, I miss him I know he is being rewarded in Heaven and deserves to be in a better place. He did so much for so many people while he was on earth. His niece, Judy
