We had some funny stories about fishing (or trying to fish) camping wish we both enjoyed so much. I loved you then, love you now and always will. I talk to you everyday, I don't know if you hear me, but I will keep having my talks with you.

Hi Pat, have many good memories of working with David at "I-10". I also remember working and seeing You at Harrisburg.
You know David was a great person if he could put up with working with an old Coot like me.
Our prayers are with You and the family.

Honey, it is 5 years ago today since your passing and it is as hard today as it was 5 years ago. I miss you so much, your smile, your laugh and your jokes. The grief I feel is like a ocean it comes in large waves and then small waves, but no days do I feel calm. You will always be in my heart and soul forever till we meet again. You know that you have found your soulmate because you both fit together like a great pair gloves, but when you loose one of the gloves you feel lost without it. Well I have been lost without you and I can not seem to find my way anymore.
I Love you with all my heart.
Your wife

Honey,
Yesterday was 4 years since your passing, it also fell on Easter Sunday this year. This has been the longest and hardest 4 years of my life. I miss you so much. I know you are in a better place and all the sickness is gone, but I wish you were still here with me. People say each year gets easier but I do not agree with that as of right now. Honey, you where the smartest Man I ever knew, you could fix anything, build anything and you loved all of your hobbies. I miss having our meals together you enjoyed food so much and it did not matter what it was. I love you and miss you with all my heart and soul.
Love you then love you now will always love you.

Honey,
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY today. That day on October 4th, was the best day of my life. The sad part is today has been 6 months since you passed. This has been the worst days of my life. I miss you so much, you were my best friend, the love of my life, my everything. You were the most extraordinary man I had ever known, and God broke the mold when he made you. I miss your smile, the way only you could make me laugh and how you was my Rock during the hard times. You are my once in a lifetime love, and I will hold you in my heart forever more.
My Love and Respect always
Your wife Pat

I just learned of David's passing today while trying to track down fellow classmates for our 50th reunion next year. David lived down the street from me in high school and the way to get to my house was to pass by his. There were alway boys hanging either in his yard or the Dye's. They would spot me turning the corner in my parents Corvair Monza Spyder and the boys would lay down in the street forcing me to have to stop. David would lean on the car door with that cute little grin and his cap hiked high his on his head. I am deeply saddened that the cancer demon shortened his life. Patricia, thank you for sharing your pictures.

My papa has taught me many things throughout my life. He's taught me how to be tough. He taught me how to fish and Kamie, Kaitlynn, Chase, papa and I would all ride our bikes down to the ponds and creeks and go fishing together. We also took a trip down to Rockport, Texas and that was a trip to remember. We went fishing every night and stayed out until about 1 am catching fish and throwing them back in. And waking up early every morning and going out to the pier and catch the crabs in the nets. I'm going to miss going on all those fishing trips with him. He also always took me out in the backyard to the garden and showed me all the plants they were planting and I sometimes helped water them. When my brother and I were younger and my parents would always go on trips we would stay at our grandparents house for a week or two. They would bring us to school every morning and picked us up. There was grandparents day at our school and Papa would come every year. I've never seen him upset once he always had a smile on his face. He was goofy and always loved to joke around. My papa was a caring and loving grandfather, uncle and husband who was loved by many and brought joy to everyone. He will always be in my heart and will be missed.

Met and worked with David at Stewart & Stevenson back in early 80's. A man
who would do anything for anyone. David was not afraid of work and all his work was exceptional. Our prayers to His family in
their time of grief.

What an honor to have the opportunity to work with and know David the past 10 years, David left a lasting impression on so many people in ways that will last us a lifetime, through his love for Pat, kids and grandkids, fishing, camping and working on anything he could get his hands on and the dedication to his job. Losing David is so sad and leaves a huge empty space in my heart but I smile and know that heaven just got a little better and has a great man. Until we meet again David rest in peace my friend.

Dear Pat & Family,
I have had the honor to know and admire Dave for forty years. As a teenager, David was the picture of strength and capability that shaped my understanding of what a man should be. It seemed as though there was nothing he couldn't do or fix. As a young man, David showed me what it meant to be a servant, to family and friends alike. When I got married and began my own family, David's example of love and care for his family above all else and regardless of the circumstances was exactly the kind of example I needed at that point in my life. Over the years, he helped me work on my car more time than I can count. He laughed with me when I installed my mailbox just ever so slightly off center. He encouraged me and he validated me. He watched me grow up and become the man I am today. David had a role in that, although he would surely downplay it. Whether he knew how often I watched him or not, whether or not he knew how much I respected him, the fact remains I truly value the time I had, the things I learned, and the example his life has been for me. David, it has been my honor.
Pat, please know your are loved! I wish I could have been there for you today, but you and the family are in my prayers.

Heaven has now been blessed with the presence of an honorable man I hope some day to be. Uncle David who was a second father to me and my brother Jeremy, has taught me several qualities in life that i cherish and use every day. How to be courageous, how to be disciplined, and how to roll your sleeves up and work through any challenges life throws at you. My uncle David set the standard high in terms of how men are supposed to be. He loved my aunt Pat passionately. He is her rock and she is his diamond. I pray one day ill get to shake hands with you again and share my life achievements that were only possible with your strong guidance. I Love You Uncle David

Sweetheart,
It is Sunday, April 9, 2017, we have the visitation today. I am not sure I can get thru today but you taught me to be strong like you, a Rock, and you always had the right words to say in times like these. I wanted everyone to know what a Great Husband, father, brother, grandpa, uncle, friend an employee you are, and that we lost a great person. The memories we made will live in my heart forever. I love you so much. We will meet again.
With all of My Love.

Sweetheart,
I felt like writing another note. It makes me feel like you are right here. As I said before, you are the Greatest man I have ever known. You never met a stranger, you always helped anyone in need. You were just a simple man, it never took much to make you happy, a good book, a good steak and gardening. You was a great employee, you always worked hard from daylight to dark. You are the best Grandpa (Papa) ever, all the grandkids miss you so much already. Well I miss you so much, but I know this I was the most Blessed person in the world to have had you as my Husband and my soulmate. You still owe me that last dance, so I am looking forward to that. I love you with my whole heart and you will remain in my heart for evermore. XOXO

David was always soft spoken. He was a man of few words, but when he spoke, you listened. He reminded me of Grandpa Jalufka in his ways and mannerisms. May God be with Pat, his girls, and Michael. David, you will always remain in my heart, dear cousin. Love you.

David was an Amazing Man. I Have been working Since I was 16 and David Was the first manager that I have ever aspired to be like. He was filled not only with knowledge and wisdom, but with a great passion for the work that we did, But what stands out the most is his Great love, passion and Loyalty not only to his co-workers, But to the Love of his Life ( Pat) and his Family. What I loved the Most was when I would ask , Hows the Pat & the Kids Dave!! At that point you better have some time on your hands because he would Light up with a Big Smile and Tell you about how amazing Pat is and How much he loved her and the Kids! My Only Hope in life is that i am half the man David was. One thing I know for sure is that my Life is better for Having David in it And He will always be with Us!!! Thank you David for being you! God Bless you My Friend.

David was a quiet honest man. He would visit his Aunt Evelyn and Williamson cousins when he was stationed with the Navy in SanDiego, CA. On his off weekends. He loved family deeply and shared those feelings with all. I'll remember his big hugs and smile. May God surround Pat and Michael with his strength. Cousin David , enjoy the family in heaven. Love you all...

Sweetheart and My Rock,
This is the hardest note I have ever wrote. I love you so much, and miss you so bad. God blessed me with my Soulmate when he sent me you, and there is such a huge empty void in my heart right now, I keep thinking you will come in the door anytime now. I thank God that you are not in pain any longer from the cancer. You told me as you got weaker that you was not my Rock any longer, but you will always be my Rock. I was so blessed to have the 37 years with you, I just wanted more time so we could make more memories together. You are the Greatest Man I have ever known, you were there always whenever anyone needed help. I miss your smile, laugh and jokes, that smile would brighten my day no matter how low I was. The only peace I have right now is that you are with the Lord and we will be together in a better place.
With all my Love and Admiration.
Your Wife and Soulmate
