Dear Rettinger Family, We are sorry to hear of David's passing. He has been instrumental in assisting your mother since my relocation to North Carolina. I fondly recall the times from my childhood when David's presence seemed gigantic. My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time.

David was a great backhoe man that I was able to work with for many years, when he would call for an inspection he needed or dig pits for soil evaluations that I needed. He always was conscientious of his installation work and was a pleasure to work with and know. He loved his dear wife, and often spoke of her. I will miss him, as so many of you will.

Woody Wimmer also was a friend to David and we know what a kind person he was as well as a hard worker. He, very recently,dug up areas on a piece of our land so we could find out if it perked. His health was a concern that he was just finding out about at the time. May God reward him for a life well lived and for the kindness he showed others.

David was one of the nicest men I have ever met. His thoughtfulness was always for other people.
I am deeply sorry for your loss.
May you forever hold memories of David in your hearts and may they bring you comfort in all the days ahead.
Prayers for all his family,
