I 'm sure I served with Dave if he was in attack
squadron 125 between 1965 and1968.
I recall him as a hard working ordinanceman
who got along well with all.
I'm glad to read that he had full life with
family, work, hobbies, and church.
May God bless him and those that miss him.

I am so sorry to learn of Dave's passing. He was a caring cousin, a good family man with many interests and talents. I still have several books of poems he wrote long ago. My heart goes out to Phyllis and the whole family. May Dave now rest in peace and rise in glory.
