Elaine, Jeff, Brenda and other family members, I express sympathies on Dave's passing. He was very friendly to me on each occasion that we would meet. I will miss him. He was a good baseball coach and I appreciate him developing me as a ball player in the little leagues years ago. We had a good ball club due to his coaching help. |

Elaine ~ If there is anything you need, or if you just need someone to talk with, we are just a phone call away. Please know that we will keep you and your family in our prayers. In the past few years you have given the "in sickness and health" part of your wedding vows a new meaning. We will miss David a lot. He was a wonderful, fun-loving person and has now gone to a better place. |
