We are so sorry for your loss. David is no longer in the great pain he was in. He has gone to be with Jesus and live with no pain. As Blake and Lexa's aunt and uncle we have gotten to know you all and we love you. May God be with you and we are praying for you all each day.

Shelly first of all I am really sorry. One of the guys from the firehouse told me you had stopped up and I knew that if you were in town he had probably passed. Im not sure if you will read this before you do get ahold of me but my phone number is 740-225-5007 and you can call any time. I talked to my dad and he is going to try to get ahold of you after he gets off of work today (Thursday). If you need anything at all just let me know.

Shelley, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. My most vivid memory of Dave was the day he built me my first electronic siren. You told me he could do anything, so I stopped in one day and asked him if it would be possible. He said “well let’s go out to the shop and give it a try. I was amazed watching him work. He looked through many spare parts. Trying one then the other, and by the end of the day I had my first electronic siren. It did take most of the day, but watching, talking, and asking many questions about what he was doing, it seamed like only an hour. I believe a person will learn something new every day of his life, if he is paying attention. Well that day I walked out of Dave’s shop with a Masters Degree in Electrical Science. He was a very intelligent man, and I am sure he will be missed not only by you and the rest of his family, but by his neighbors as well.Doris and I send our sincere sympathy to you in the time of your family's loss.

Shelly, David and Darrin,

I am so sorry to hear about Big Dave. Little Melvin told me and then Dennis called me also to tell me it was in the paper. Our prayers are with you all. I know that Big Dave is no longer in pain. I think of you all often and there has been so many times that Little Melvin and I talk aobut you all and we share stories of the boys growing up. Your whole family was and is very special to us even though we are miles a part. Please take care and when you get a chance send me a email.. I would love to hear from you and the boys,
