Dave is to young to be gone. We didn't work together that long at Upjohn/Pfizer but I won't forget you and Bob. You have a family that will continue to honor and love you. You will be missed my friend.

How sad, to learn of Dave's passing. I knew him in high school. In fact, I know, I can speak for myself, Sandie Knotts and Joanne German. We were all "upper classmen" in high school. Yet it would be very difficult to be upper anything as far as knowing Dave went. He was a super kid and, from everything that we saw in the obituary, he lived his life as a super adult! We, (us girls) have been friends for 50 years and have talked about how great Dave was many times. Joanne knew Dave's Mom. Kudos to her for raising such a fine son! Our hearts go out to all of your grieving hearts. Our hearts are grieving too. It is a sadder world, just knowing that Dave isn't in it, yet He is in a better world and we will all see him again. Trust in God. Nora, Joanne and Sandie

Going to miss you good friend. Dave and I have known each other since we were five years old. You couldn't ask for a better friend. We went through school together, into the Navy together. Moved to Chicago together when we got out of the Navy. The idea was to go to school and have some fun. We had the fun, but didn't quite make it to class. There was a time when you couldn't see one of us without seeing all three. The third one I am referring about was our best friend Tom K. jr. We all had so many good times together and I am never going to forget any of it. Going to miss you good brother.
Tim

Sometimes it's so hard to let go of the ones we love the best, Sometimes we ask why? Sometimes we wonder if our hearts will ever be at rest . . . So it's natural to grieve for the one who meant so much. Our thoughts and prayers are with your entire family. Joan (Adams) Schryer, John Adams, Walter and Marlene Adams.
