As Dave's co-worker, bowling team member, sometimes chauffer and friend, I will miss Dave. Although he left NAVSSES 8 years ago, he remained a part of our HRO. Dave's long struggle with his siezures, tumors and cancer was difficult, but the way he lived was an inspiration to many people. He never complained and always was dedicated to his work and helping his coworkers. His strong faith and his love for God was evident in his life as well as the special bond he and his mother shared. Dave was a very special person and my life has been better by his presence in my life. Ethel, you are always welcome to come visit "the girls" - just call and we'll give you directions!

Mr. and Mrs. Kohr, My deepest sympathy to your family for your loss. I graduated with Dave. We recently had our 25th class reunion and I was unable to attend as my family left for vacation but Dave was on my mind as someone I would have liked to see again after 25 years. When we returned from vacation I was saddened to read in the papaer of his death. My thoughts and prayers are with you as you deal with this difficult time.

Aunt Ethel and Uncle skip

Today you both did the hardest thing of your life, you have laid to rest your only child. The only thing that sticks out in my mind about me and Tubby is the day we were to go to the Farm show together and I slept over and aunt Ethel you put curlers in my hair the night before and tbe next day you dressed us alike in bib overhauls and when we got to grand ma's house they were not going to take me and you said If I was not aloud to go niether was tubby. That has stuck with me my whole life and I will never forget that. I just want you to know I love you both and I now deep down in my heart so does Tubby. And don't worry he is watching over you both and he misses you as much as you miss him. Love Pebbles

My dear Ethel and Davey,

I am so sorry to hear about Tubby's homegoing. (To me he will always be Tubby/Tub). I was talking to my mother on the phone tonight, and she informed me. Oh, my goodness . . . I remember when he was born. He was the cutest baby, and you and Davey were so proud of him. I have such fond memories of him.

I am so sorry I can't be with you tonight for the service, but I think it was providential that I found out at the very time of the service. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers.

May God give you the grace, peace, strength, and hope to face the future, knowing one day you will be reunited with your dear son.

Love and Hugs,
Carolyn, Peter, and Steve

I was saddened to hear about the passing of my good friend Dave. I will always remember when I first came to NAVSSES, I wasn't to familiar with the computer. Anytime I had a computer problem my co-workers would direct me to Dave Kohr. I was so amazed at how Dave would just go into the computer, tap a few keys and the problem was solved. Dave was always willing to help anyone who needed his help. He never acted like I was computer Illiterate, he just said, you'll get it. Guess what, I did. Dave you fought the good fight of faith, now rest in the bosom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

I am very sorry to hear of your loss. I was a classmate and teammate of Dave's in high school. I always tried to practice my golf game with him because I was anxious to improve my game and Dave always helped me out. With his help I was able to go to the state championship in my senior year. He was a great guy to be around. He left us far too soon.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
