Kathy - Dave was a dedicated Weigelstown Lions President. Always did more than he had too. When he showed me the x-rays of his back, I knew the club had one of the toughest guys I know. I will miss him and his sense of humor at the meetings and on the service projects. God bless you and your family.

Kathy, I will never forget the golf outing we had the day of our 50th class reunion. Dave, Myself, Alan Bush, Alan Caines, Paul Kipar, Steve Prentice, and Pat Vroman"s Husband all had a great time. I'm glad we had that day together. Also I know Dave helped with the placard you made, I will always appreciate that. Dave volunteering at the hospital shows his greatness as a true follower of Christ. He was a better man than I. May he continue his work from Heaven. May God Bless You.

I was sorry to learn of Dave’s passing. He and I served on the township sewer authority. We helped to build the system and Dave was the the chair. It was no small achievement. I very much enjoyed serving with Dave. Condolences to the family. Earle Wolfe
