It is with great sadness and regret to learn of Davids passing, a childhood friend with whom i had lost contact with over the years. The memories of riding mini bikes in Spears woods, the burnt out house, summer days at the Saufley Field pool, gym and golf course and playing football for the Bellvue Packers were some of the best times of my life and i owe those to David and the entire Spear family.
Our warmest condolences.

Jessica (and Family),
I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad. Emily has been keeping me updated. Lots of prayers and love your way.

It was much sadness when I heard of the passing of my cousin David. I had seen David several times earlier this year at the hospital visiting him in his room.

David was a good person. I always enjoyed playing in the woods around his house with his brother Billy and later Scott. We would rule the forest and protect his sister's Susan and Christie.

My heart goes out for David's wife and children along with his mom (Aunt Delores) and dad (Uncle Bill) and his brothers and sisters and other cousins.

My husband and I both had the pleasure of working with David at Pen Air. He was one of the nicest men I have ever met. His Pen Air family loved him very much. He was always there when you needed him no matter what. I remember when my husband was sick and David was so concerned that he would get better..even though it was just a cold. Always thinking of others. He will truly be missed but I know we have a guardian angel. My thoughts are with his family.
