I can't believe it's been 10 years. I was just telling someone the other day about my 30th birthday party. We moved to Cypress just 2 weeks before and Norm wouldn't consider going back to Edmond for my birthday party...so I went out and got invitations and walked the street inviting all the neighbors to come celebrate with us...most were new to the neighborhood as well and everyone showed up...at 10 Dave asked me if I had shot glasses and we filled a tray with Tequila shots and everyone too a shot...it became a tradition at all the parties, and there were A LOT over the next 4 years... that was 34 years ago and feels like yesterday and I cherish all those memories with you Dave and Shir-Shir ...love ans miss

Dear Shirley, Dave and I worked together years ago in Amoco Production. I will always remember Dave for his spirit and his ability to bring people together for a common purpose. We were all blessed for having Dave as a friend and colleague. Larry Reid (League City, Texas)

Dear Shirley, Kathy and family...Karen and I are so saddened to hear about Dave's passing. He was such a great colleague, advisor, and most importantly friend...our "Dad" away from home. I will always remember him and be forever indebted to him for changing our lives in sucj a significant and positive way. Michelle remembers him well and said: "He was such a funny and happy man". Steven said: "He was like a texan grandpa to me!". I am so upset that we can not attend the funeral, but just know he will always have a special place in our heart and will miss him dearly.

Sincerely, Mike, Karen, Stacey, Michelle and Steven Grant

Kathy and family,
We are so sorry for the loss of such a wonderful man. He loved you all so much and was so proud of you. I am sure that is bragging about all of you to the angels around him. May God give you peace and comfort while you cherish your many wonderful memories.

Dear Shirley, Kathy and Family,

Our hearts are heavy with the news of Dave's passing. We are sorry for your loss. When thinking back on the wonderful memories the most vivid memory has to be your annual New Years Eve party where Dave was always the Master of Ceremony in leading of the California Raisin dance. Great memories we will always cherish. Hope knowing he is in a better place helps to soften your sorrow and your faith in God will help you get through and face each day as they come.

God Bless you,
