Dear Karen and family: I am so so sorry for the loss of your father. I can't believe that I knew nothing of this tragedy until I ran into you yesterday. I'm sorry that I wasn't there to offer you my friendship as comfort. I haven't seen your Dad for many years, but after reading the entries in this guest book, I can see that he touched many lives and is dearly missed.
My sincere sympathy to you and your family.

So sorry to hear about Dave. He was a wonderful man. He was my supervisor at J&L. I lost my job in1982. Thought about my mill friends often. David Kaminski formerly of Burgettstown. Now reside in Manassas Va.

I didn't even know about this website until I searched David. A. Davie and this popped up. I want to thank everyone for your support and condolences. I really appriciate it. Pap pap was the greatest man I've ever known and ever will know. He raised me since I was born and I could never thank him enough. He's in a better place now. Again everyone, thank you so much.

Elaine & I were devastated by news of Dave's passing. He was..and is..a good man, with a heart that knows no equal. I have many good memories of the times I visited my Mom & Dave. And although those visits were few and far between in recent years, I always knew that I had a home there. God bless and keep the Davie family in their time of sorrow. We love you!

Dear Davie Family;
You all have my deepest sympathy, I worked with your dad for the last 18 years. He was a dear friend to me and all who knew and worked with him. Cedar House will never be the same without him. He spoke of you so often that we all felt that we knew all of you. You are all in my prayers. May God keep you in His loving hands during your time of sorrow. It is going to be so hard not to see my friend dave at work again. God be with you all.

So sorry to hear about Mr. Davie. We didn't know him that well except for seeing him walking in our neighborhood. He would stop by when we were on the porch to say hello and have general conversation. We know Melissa and her children because her children are the same age as our grand children and the children visit sometimes when are grand kids are over. Karen has waited on us several times when we've stopped into Eat N Park. We are in shock. No matter the weather he was out walking. He always had a smile and a spring in his step and just brightened up a person's day when he was around. He will be missed by all. This was a tragic loss and we pray for your family during this time. May the Lord comfort you. Too often God gets blamed for things like this when He had nothing to do with it. Then people don't want to go to Him for help when He is the only one who can help to get through sorrow such as this. May you find comfort by going to Him with this grief. It says in the bible that He is "a very present help in time of need." This is Truth that will set you free. God bless Bill and Brenda Regas
