Somehow on Saturday at the memorial service in your honor, I just knew you were looking down with humbleness and yes, pride to hear all the nice things said about you by your true dear friends. We should all be so honored when we pass on to the great beyond! I remember the times you spent at my house with Gary, Mark and David E. What a noisy bunch you were!! I think I must have retreated to my bedroom many times because you all would get so excited watching whatever sport was happening at that time. It's a great memory you left with us.

Dave was a good guy and a fine son-in-law. I felt like he was my own son after his father died. We had some long talks about it. He left a wonderful grandson for me to enjoy. My daughter will miss him greatly. I regret not being able to go to Promise Keepers in Washington, D.C. with Dave. Our prayers and the prayers of our church have been with Dave for 3 years. And to Dave, Bon voyage! Vaya con Dios Buddy! We'll miss you. Love, Gary

Dave,

Although I have only known you for a relatively short time compared to some of the others, you made an impact on my life and I will always remember you for that. You were always extremely supportive of me and I appreciate that. I feel truly blessed to have been able to have the opportunity to be your friend and I cherish the memories of all the good laughs we had together and I know that one day, we'll be able to laugh together again. I also look forward to talking with you about the Astros and amazing you with all the useless Astros trivia that I know. We had a lot of good times at Oshman's, and it will never be the same without you. I love you Dave and I will surely miss you!

p.s.-TWO THUMBS UP!!

Dave

Words can't explain how much influence you had on my life and how much you meant to me as a friend, but as our friendship grew stronger i realized that people like you are rare in todays world. No matter what the situation was you where always there for me and found away to cheer me up and you become almost like a father figure to me for being there for me all the time. I know that You are up in heaven with no worries like being on time to work or changing your brakes on your car and not putting the new brakes on(Imagine that)and not in pain anymore. Like i said before words can't explain how much u meant to me and why things happen to such wonderful people like u. Dave i Truely will miss u and there always will be a special place in my heart for u and there will not be a day that goes by that i will not think about you and remember all the fun times we had together. See You in heaven buddy.

Dave,

I had lost touch since just after last year's class reunion. That now saddens me even deeper. My prayer is that you are singing with Heaven's choirs and feeling no more pain. To your lovely wife and most precious child, may your spirit that was always so full of life remain present until you meet again. My love to you all that are suffering in this great loss.

Dave,

I am sorry that I lost touch with you years ago. I am very sorry that we all have lost touch with you for now. My family was praying for you and we will continue to pray for your family. None of us will ever forget you. And in closing Dave 2 Timothy 4:7 comes to mind. "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." Brother, our fellow RK's told me you fought the fight, you kept the faith and now your race is finished. You are in a better place. I will see you in heaven Dave.

Dave,

You and my brother, David, were great friends. He considered you a best friend and "brother". He will miss you terribly, but believes your pain is now gone. He would always tell me that he would give anything or any amount if it would relieve you from your pain and sickness. David, as you know, is not computer saavy so I decided to write this for him. Could you please look for my grandmother and nephew up there? Her name is "Mutti" and my nephew is Levi. Tell them we're doing okay.

I knew Dave through my brother Mark. He really was a great guy, and I know the whole gang will miss him very much. My prayers are with you & your family during this time. I hope that God will give you comfort.

Dave,

Thanks for being a good friend. Although our friendship was not as close as in the good old days at Oshmans's, I still enjoyed seeing you at Mark's house for fantasy football. I still remember the days you continue to take Al Del Greco. Thanks for the memories.

Dave,

I knew that when you first told me you were sick that this day would come, but denied that knowledge until then end. Although I told at every opportunity toward the end, I don't think until now that you ever fully grasped the amount of love and respect I have for you. You were there for me when no one else was. You gave of yourself and never passed judgement. When I was low, and possessed of foul temperament, you made me laugh at myself and brought me back to sanity. When I hit rock bottom you kicked me in the rear and lifted me back up. You always had the right attitude, and knew to say what I needed most to hear. I love you big guy, and I await that day when we can be together again. Until then my friend, I will miss your smile and laugh. Remember to put in a good word for me. I still need all the help I can get. Wink wink, nudge nudge...

To Dave's Family,

Dave was one of our son's best friends and we were very fond of him also. It was such fun to have Mark's friends around the house, they were such a great bunch of guys. I last saw Dave at Mark's Fantasy Football get-together and it was as if we had just seen him recently, no awkward moments, just the same friendly Dave from the old days. He will be sorely missed, he was like one of the family and Mark's group will have a big hole in it that will never be filled. You have our deepest sympathy and we are so sorry for your loss.

To David's Family,

Dave was a great and true friend, and I don't think I've ever met a nicer guy. He was always there for his friends. Maybe not on time, but he would get there eventually, and he was always worth the wait. When I think back on the best memories in my life, Dave is always there with me. He was and always will be my friend and fellow RK. I loved him, and will miss him every day of my life.

Dave,

I am not very good at goodbyes, never have been, and this is one, I never wanted to say. So long Dave. You were a kind fellow, one that will be missed forever in this world where there just isn't enough kindness. You have gone now, to a place where the games are never rained out and our team ALWAYS wins the big one....1986, ASTROS WIN ASTROS WIN ASTROS WIN, I can see and hear you right now, as we clinched the NL East. You were a guy who would be there for others when the going was a little rough, calling, playing some golf out at Katy, what a blast and what a friend. I probably never got to tell you all of this, funny, that's how life is, but I do know this, you will never be forgotten, always remembered as an RK, a bud, a friend and a dad.

I love you and will never ever forget you.

Gary
