    Dave was a good friend to Bernie and I. This was a shock as I thought he was well last time we talked to him. I am sorry for all of you and ask God to keep all the good memories in your grief and lighten your burden….God Bless.

    Dave has been my close personal friend for over 50 years. We had so many good times together I could not begin to list them all. He loved his family and friends and was someone you could always count on to be there if you needed help. He was a talented body repair man and was very respected for his work. I will miss him as long as I live and treasure all the memories we had growing up.

    Dear Family,
    At times like this words don’t seem to suffice, however it is with words that we express many of our deepest emotions. May you draw comfort during this difficult time from Bible text such as Psalms 34: 18 which tells us that God is near to all those broken at heart and Jesus words at John 5: 28, 29 where Jesus promises a resurrection of our dear loved ones. May family, friends and comforting memories help you during the difficult days ahead. I hope these few thoughts provide a measure of comfort as you come together to mourn the loss of David.

    The class of 66 has lost another mate way to soon, all of which we have little control over. Many memories of Dave from grade school thru high school and beyond. May God bless the family and may he R.I.P. Bruce and Nancy

    I moved to Frankfort in 1967 and Dave was one of the first people I met! He loved doing crazy things on the spur of the moment and to this day I wonder why we did not get in big trouble!! We were good buddy’s, Dave, Me and Mike Bragg and I will always remember him as being a wonderful guy !!! I am thinking of his Family this day! I am so sorry for your loss!!

    Brook and I are thinking of your family during this time. Its hard to loose your parent but knowing that he is in Gods hands now and not in anymore pain, makes it a little more comforting. Keeping your family in our thoughts and prayers. He is at peace now.

    Dave, Gary Bragg, Dick Sheets and I rode motorcycles together in High School and I have known Dave since first grade, that would be 59 years. I moved away and it appears that Dave had his share of life’s adventures. May he rest in peace.
