I worked with Beth many years ago when I was a travel agent. She had such love for Dave and enjoyed sharing stories about their family and their adventures. Thinking of all of you at this sad time--Julia Clement-Voigt, Zionsville, IN

I was so sad to read Dave's obituary in the Indianapolis Star. He was a great friend to my brother Jim Townsend. Their golf stories were truly the best and everyone would enjoy great belly-laughs when they were together. One of my best memories was the infamous canoe trip. I know that Dave will be missed by so many people. Beth, please accept my deepest condolences. In Loving Sympathy, Cathy Kane
