Although it´s been many moons since I saw Uncle Dave, just the thought of that funny man makes me smile. And nobody but Dave loved my Dad as much as my Mother. I can´t think of the porch in Chautauqua without thinking of Uncle Dave. Peace and light to Aunt Jane, Katherine, Jane Ann and Molly.

I'm am so sorry for our loss! I have thought about David constantly since his passing. He was so charismatic and larger than life. Everyone loved him so much. We served on city Council for a number of years, and he was so helpful to me while we served. He can't be replaced. His friend , Hreg Hawkins

So sorry to hear of Judge Pancake passing. He married my husband and I in 1999! My son and I looked forward to him driving in to the parking space during Marshall's football games!

When I worked as a CPS worker, I was Judge Pancakes worker. He used to grade my court summeries! He was very particular on how he wanted them. I learned a lot from him and enjoyed being in his court room. He was a good man and a fair Judge! RIP judge Pancake!
