Dear Pfeiffer Family,
I feel like an awful neighbor since I just learned of David's passing yesterday. David and his Dad, Henry, made up a part of my childhood that still makes me smile. He will be thought of and remembered fondly- especially when motorcycle stories are being told.
My deepest sympathies,
Jo Anna Rentschler- Fred Rentschler's daughter.

Ben, I am so very sorry. He must have been a terrific man. You are a testament to his character and love. Carry that forward to honor him. The first year is very difficult and the following years become less so. It helps to realize that God's promise of eternity with Him is true. Accepting that your Dad is so filled with joy and pure love helps. When tears come, let them. They are liquid manisfestations of your memories.

So sorry for your loss Pam. We are sad here but I bet Bernie is happy as hell waiting at the gates with the bikes running with shots guns strapped on! Thinking of you. Love Terri
