Dear Judy and Family, Steve and I are saddened to read of Dave’s passing, but we know he has joined Uncle Hubert and Aunt Alice in his heavenly home. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. Cousin Stephen Rike and wife Sharon Rike
Rest in Peace Dave–you’ve surely earned it.
Judy and family, Was sadden to learn of David’s passing. David and I attended Brooklyn elementary school and rode the same bus for many years until our graduation in 1962. I was so glad that he was able to attend the 50th class reunion and picnic. May peace be with you all in the knowledge that he is now pain free. Mary Frances (Pope) Boner and husband, Curt Boner
Judy and family, We were coworkers and friends with Dave for many years at GM. We are saddened to hear of his passing. He was a joy to know and great to work with. I also worked with him two years at the Handy Capable Camp in Bradford Woods. He enjoyed the kids and they loved him. He will be missed by many and he left us all with many fond memories. May God give you and your family strength and ease your heartache. Sincerely, John and Wanda Teeters
Dear Joe, I was sorry to learn about the death of your brother. My sincere sympathy to you and your family. Kathy McAdams
