Mrs. Pfaffman & family, I worked with David many years ago and spoke with him sometimes when he called the Polka Show on a Sunday morning. I am sorry we were not able to get together for coffee as he often wanted to...maybe some day. My thoughts & prayer are with you at this time. God bless.

Uncle David, you were always at every family function, every holiday, every birthday, anniversary party, wedding, and get together. I especially remember all the great times at the Jersey Shore. I know that you are with your heavenly father and all of our other family members that went before you. You will be sorely missed!

I knew Dave since we first met at the European Health Spa in the 70's. We spent many good times together working out or talking about pro wrestling. David will be deeply missed. Our condolances go out to David's family.

I had a chance to meet David, when I roomed with his father at Healthsouth in 2004. He was a really cool guy who was always very nice to me! I know him and Dick are reunited in Heaven and are rejoicing in the Lord! My thoughts and prayers are with you Helen during your time of grief, and I hope that the Lord's promise gives you strength in the days and months ahead!

David, you will be missed by all who knew you. You are gone but will never be forgotten. You will live on in our hearts and memories forever. You were a gentle giant with a good heart. Since you were an organ donor, every time we see someone we will think that they may be alive because of you. Thank you David for all the good times we had together. Love you forever .

My dear, sweet nephew, David, is gone.....I am broken-hearted. I loved him so very much. He was the nicest, kindest, most-thoughtful person I ever knew. I will always miss our phone conversations. My life will be a lonely place without him. Rest in peace, my dear David.

I will always remember that sweet innocent smile and how he would dedicate songs from Polka Time to The Girls At Rite Aid. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

What terribly sad news to hear of David's death. My deepest sympathies go out to Helen and his siblings. He was such a wonderful companion to my parents when they lived in Kenhorst, and was always a friend to me. God speed, Davey Honey. You will always be missed.
