My colodences to the Coombs family . I went to school with his sister Sera and although I didn't know David well , I met with David at the former Dent hardware building at his yard sale . David and I wound up talking for well over a hour , we enjoyed conversations about Fullerton kids and things Fullerton of years past . David had a wealth of knowledge on Fullerton history , and I was looking forward to our next time reminiscing old local history . Sadly David passed a month later . , one story David told me was when he was a young boy aged 6 years old , his mother asked him if he would burn the garbage , of course he said yes and he took such delight in doing so , it was a fond boyhood memory of David's and it was a joy for him telling the story , May he rest in peace , He is now with God and family

I was saddened and surprised to hear about Dave Coomb's passing. I met Dave when he was about 18 (over 50 years ago) and he came to study the Martial Arts with me. He attained the high level of the Black Belt ranking and maintained his interest in the Arts over the years. He became a good friend and we kept our contact over all that time! Dave you will be missed but never forgotten. May you truly rest in Peace. Tim Hawk

I hired Dave on numerous jobs to move machinery for us that no one else would. Always pleased with his work. RIP Dave.

David was all about love for his family and luckily for us his arms embraced his friends as family too. Looking at pictures and triggering memories made me realize how he affected all of us around him. All the truck camping knowledge and adventures we have had at "Camp David" and continue to have in the future, we owe to David. Our friend by the fire, the guy leading the hike up the trail, the Loyalsock Winter Camper and our Starman. You will be missed, but never forgotten.

David was and still is a great friend. The visits while in his jeeps will be missed.

I have had the privilege of working with Dave & his crew for many years. He and his crew have moved a lot of machinery for us over the years. His knowledge of textile machinery always amazed me. We also shared a few common interests. I have always enjoyed spending time with him weather it was work or in conversation. He will be sorely missed by me and many many others!

David was my classmate at Central Catholic, class of 73. He sat behind me for 4 years in home room. More recently I enjoyed reconnecting with him at our class reunions. He will be missed. Gone too soon. Rest in peace David.

I'll sure miss David's visits to the Loyalsock State Forest and seeing his big smile while he would pull up to visit at the Hillsgrove Station.
