Was saddened to hear about Dave. We have spoken on the phone a number of times and his help in setting up an awake group was terrific. Unfortunately I never found anyone as dynamic as Dave and the group faltered. We only actually met once but his dedication has helped so many. ML

I just heard the news about Dave, and my condolences, Jody. I have fond memories of dinner with both of you in Florida--and many more fond memories of Dave's work on behalf of the millions of people with sleep apnea. He was such a thoughtful, caring person; I have no doubt the angels are happy to see him.

So glad I knew Dave at RHS and reconnected with him on FB 43 years later. Was fun to share school & hometown memories with him & other RHS friends. Happy to learn of the many great things he did for his community in Illinois. The Lord bless & comfort your family at this time.

David was a great friend and classmate. He had a great mix of exceptional intelligence and common sense. He was fun to be around and was a great leader in our class. I'll miss him and cherish the good times we had together.

I briefly knew Dave as I am a relatively new member of the ASAA Board. Our prayers are lifting you up at this time. May God bless you with peace, love, hope, and grace. May the hands of God hold you up and be realized in the friends that are now surrounding you to help you in this time of sorrow. Blessings on all of you. rb
