Condolence From: Joe Archer
Condolence: It hit me like a ton of bricks. I go home (Worthington) every 1 to 10 years and my cousin gives me the obituaries from my friends and family during my absence. Dave's passing was the biggest shock of all. Dave, Terry Baker and I spent a summer being the 3 Amigos. We drank beer, drove a thousand miles on Greene County gravel roads, chased a thousand girls and became great friends. At the end of the summer I moved to Florida and I never saw Dave again. But I always thought I would. He was a great friend and was part of a memory of a summer well spent.

Condolence From: Susan Dyer
Condolence: I was so sad to hear of David's death, and now that of Tricia's mother as well. David was indeed funny, gentle, and kind. I will never forget our years as classmates, David's mowing accident, his MG autos, drumming, and those senior cords that dismayed Mary so, because David would not let her wash them ever though he wore them daily during his senior year. We had great times dancing to Celia's records in the Ropp basement in the early years of rock n' roll. The W-J Class of 1965 has indeed lost a shining star to heaven. I share your sorrow. Peace and love.

Condolence: today i learned there's another rambler in heaven -- i am so sorry that david has left his family, because i know you all will really miss him. i had the pleasure of seeing david at home for a class reunion, but also enjoyed seeing him in his shop in bar harbor when we visited there several years ago. as another good friend, susie, stated above, he was funny and kind. walking around with a snare drum attached to him, telling funny stories and causing random havoc with friends always made for fun times at wjhs! band camp in the summer, hayrides and parties round the bonfire, and basketball games in the kind of school gym that put the movie "hoosiers" into the hearts of everyone who watched it -- david was a part of it all! our small class of 47 (largest to ever come through the school, i believe) bonded for life. it was great to see each other after being away -- we picked up the thread of our lives from where we had last left it. now, david's story will continue through us -- and through each of you who knew and loved him -- he will live on in our hearts until it becomes our turn to join him. speak kindly, laugh joyously, and do a simple kindness for someone, while keeping david in your heart. love2uall, jan

Condolence: Mary and Celia, I'm so sorry about your loss. I didn't really know David, but reading this obituary, I wish I had. My deepest sympathy and prayers go to both of you. I know this is a hard thing. My husband died in 2009, and these losses are tough. I'm very fond of you both, and your kindnesses over the years have meant much to me.

Condolence From: Ed Haring
Condolence: David and I were fraternity brothers at Indiana State. We spent a lot of time together during those college years. I was also his next door neighbor in Terre Haute during and after his time in Viet Nam. His passing was a shock and while I only met his family once, I extend to them my deepest sympathy during their time of grief. I have chosen to remember the good times Dave and I had rather than to be sad at his passing. I hope all of you can do the same.
Warmest Regards,
Ed Haring
