My Dad, Roland E Whiteley and my Mom, Allene Durham Whiteley use to have pot luck dinners with Dave and Helen in Payette; having all grown up in Payette. I talked with my Dad today and let him know about David and he told some pretty good stories. Dad said the old house David grew up in; he said they moved that house out center street; way out, north to the highway, it was the 2nd house on the left. Dad and his father. Ike Whiteley built the Portia Club so they helped rebuild the door on that home. And one of the gals that runs that house lives in the Biven's house now. My Dad has very fond memories of David and Helen. He rode his harley motorcycle over to see them from Salem, OR in the 70's to visit them. He took Helen for a ride on his harley. David wasn't home at the time. He sends his sincerest condolences to the family. I'm his daughter and live in Boise now. May God bless you all and hold you close during this time. Janet Peters

Among his many accomplishments, he was also a master set builder for the singing group Helen was in! Sounds couldn't have done it without him for many years! Our sets were top notch and not only did he build, he moved them between sets! You were such a kind, gentle man and will be sorely missed. Condolences and love to Helen and the entire family on this tremendous loss.
