Grief can be difficult during the holidays, may your special memories comfort you. I shared many laughs with your Dad over the years since your Mom's passing. We all had such fun times in Parkersburg; we were the Sunday School. You are all in my thoughts. Your Dad will be missed

Dave and I were in the same class at the FAA Academy for instructor training. He was a real stand up guy and a very good friend. We had a lot of laughs together over the years. He had a good sense of humor and was fun to work with. I'll miss him greatly. We will keep the family in our prayers during their time of loss.

I met Dave in 1980 at the FAA Academy as a fellow instructor and then we worked together at Kansas City Center. Dave was a great guy and loved to laugh. He would talk about his family and how much he enjoyed being with them. I send my condolences to his friends and family.

I met Dave soon after he moved into his duplex since we live side by side on Applegate Court. He was so friendly and had a wonderful sense of humor. He was so proud of his children and his grandchildren. He loved being in Lawrence close to all of you. I am going to miss him. I send my sincere sympathy to all of you.
