Dear Mr. and Mrs. Foote, and Brandi,

I was so shocked and saddened to hear of Dave's passing. I met Dave in 1998, we were neighbor's on Walker street. He was a wonderful neighbor and always willing to help out in an emergent plumbing issue. When my son flushed his underwear down the toilet on memorial day and flooded the basement, Dave came to the rescue. I will never forget his great attitude and humor. He was, without a doubt, the hardest working man in Vienna! I last saw him this past spring, always pleasant and friendly, waving and smiling from his truck. My son Devin and I will miss him.

Brandi, I am sorry for your loss.I was friends with you and Dave at JMHS, and kept in touch with Dave. In the past 25 years,he always was ready and willing to assist with our plumbing issues. With 4 daughters, he spent numerous hours at our family homes.We saw Dave in the Spring prior to his hernia surgery.I am very sad that he suffered health issues at such a young age. He was a wonderful person, and a great father to his children. We will never forget Dave.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Foote and Brandi,

My deepest sympathies to you.

I was so sad and shocked to learn this news. It was the winter when I last saw Dave. We were friends in high school, and I was so glad to keep in touch with him by way of his plumbing calls here. He was always kind, caring,funloving, helpful and full of pride over his children. God bless you and comfort you all.

So sorry to hear of Dave's passing. He was our family's plumber for many years. It was always so great to see him driving around Vienna smiling and waving. God Bless you Dave and your family.

Mom and Dad: I know we are all in shock at the suddenness of David's illness and passing. But thank you both for providing the strength and backbone for our family during these trying times so that we will always make the most of David's life and keep all of us; you both, the kids, the spouses, friends and many others exhaulting and continuing to appreciate the really great hopes and ideas that David instilled in all of us. Always for his kids, his immediate family and those of us that were fortunate to be part of his inner circle. I really loved him, much more than I will ever be able to explain to anyone. Thanks for giving me this great brother. I don't think I will ever stop crying. bran di bran

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Foote,

David and I sang together in Madrigals and Choir at Madison High School. I have the greatest memories of him as a terrific vocalist, caring friend, and mischievous buddy. I am so sad to hear that he is gone. Mrs. Foote, I believe you also knew my late mother, Pauline Sutter, who spoke highly of you whenever we heard you singing in the choir at Holy Comforter. Many warm and bright memories are in my heart. I am sorry that you and Mr. Foote and David's wife and kids have to bear such sorrow.
