Dear Truemper family:
I came to know Dave through our work with the journal Religious Studies Review. He was a meticulous and imaginative managing editor of the journal and clearly put it on solid ground after a shaky finish at Mercer University. He also used his technological and entrepreneurial abilities to significant benefit for the journal and the CSSR, its umbrella sponsoring agency. He mentioned a couple of times that he hoped to take this work into retirement because he liked it so much. Those of us who worked with him on the journal are extremely grateful for his many contributions and are grieved by his death. Our deepest sympathies to the family.

Dear Truemper family:
David was my first professor of theology and inspired me to major in it. Through the years I served as a lay person in campus ministry, then went into higher education in student affairs. A year ago, I returned to Luther seminary to complete an MDiv degree. Yesterday I preached on All Saints Sunday ans was pleased to have named him with the saints who have influenced my life. May God bless you with the knoweldge of the resurrection! Darlene Grega, '76

I am the cousin of Joanna Truemper. I did not know Dave, but through the occasional Christmas family newsletter and pictures. I was widowed in my 40s, though, and know the pain of loosing your partner and the love of your life. Grief is the price we pay for love. Know that despite the miles of road and the distance our lives have taken us, we are your Georgia extended family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Mrs. Truemper and Family,
I have often been a rival or a teammate of your husband over the last several years during the weekend Forest Park Men's Club "events". We shared our love of the game of golf and often talked about our ties to VU. He will always be a very good man in my mind. You know, on occasion I heard him swear a bit now and again after a bad shot or missed putt; somewhat a surprise from such an articulate and wise theologian?! But, he would always follow the "explosion" with a quick, witty smile and a comment on how golf, and sometimes life treated we human beings so unfairly...!? You and your family have my deepest condolences. Vaya Con Dios, Dave.

Dear Mrs. Truemper and family,
My deepest sympathy to you at this time. I have such fond memories of David while a deaconess student at Valpo (96-98). He truly was a treasured educator and respected man. He will be missed by many.
God's Blessings,
Deaconess Brenda Husman
