Dave will be missed by many. He always made me SMILE. Rest easy my friend.
You will be missed
One good man!
Dear Laura, Dave is in a better place without pain and suffering. He is now your Guardian Angel and smiling down on you. He is saving you a place by his side. My prayers go out to you and your family. Deb Schulz Yates
Thank you to the family for sharing this kind, thoughtful man with all of us. I will never forget how he pulled us all together through facebook. Planned mini reunions and even found people like me, who were a little out of the loop. God Bless him and keep him safe in his arms.
What I loved about Dave was his passion, whether it was about a political matter, a ball game, his kids, etc. He seemed to have strong beliefs and was full of life even when he didn’t feel so great. I know his physical body has suffered much, and he has learned much while he was here. His physical body is no longer here, but his spirit is and he is with you and will be with you every time you call out to him. Thank God the soul never dies and is never alone. I pray for healing for your soul as I know you will miss him greatly. From the work I do, I know that his spirit is with you and he will be at the funeral too…they always are…and I hope it brings you much comfort. I wish I could be with you at this time, but know my heart is holding you and is with you along with my prayers. Much love and grace, Teresa Boshears
My children and I will miss ‘Mr. Ooley’s’ friendly waves and conversations. Dave was a great man and neighbor. His whole family is in our prayers. Martha (next door neighbor)
Dave, wanted you to know Randy misses you a lot and still talks about things you and he did.
