Dear Uelmen family,how I wish I could have known David and I feel like my Uelmen family missed out on so much by not knowing him.My siblings,Dolly(Charlene)Uelmen Lindsley and Bud (Jerome)would probably have known David at one time.Unfortunately, they have both passed away. My sister, Kathy, passed away 2 years ago from multiple myeloma also. Please accept my sincere sympathy at the passing of David. Patti Uelmen Bobzien, daughter of Norbert & Eleanor Uelmen.

Please accept our sincere condolences. David was a great lawyer and also a great friend. Over my career with the Teamsters Union he had my back and always had great advice. I'm sorry that we cannot attend the visitation because my wife Diane and I are out of town. Sincerely Ron and Diane Strzelecki. Formerly with Teamsters Local 344.

A great, long time friend, golf partner, and gentleman who was an icon at NSCC for 55 years. Our times on the golf course were special, but knowing him off the course was even better. He will be missed by so many people who had the pleasure to know him. My sympathies to his large family for their loss.

Dear Aunt Pat, John David, Robbie, Jane, Peggy, and Bill,

So sorry for the loss of Uncle Dave. We have lots of good memories of sailing, skiing, and at the cottage. Our families always had such fun together. Thinking of you during this time.

I wish we could be there, but you'll be close in mind and heart.

Love,

Phil and Ruth Uelmen, Pulaski
