I'm so sorry for your loss. I did not know David well as we just recently started working together but he was so kind. He will be missed.

Melody and Family-I am so sorry for your loss. David was such a wonderful person to be around, and I always enjoyed his piano playing when we were at Kenosha Church. I remember when he taught our Sunday School class and would tell stories of his days at Lee. I will miss seeing him drive by when I take Charlie for his evening and weekend walks. You are in my prayers.

Melody & family, (I'm sure you don't know me, but I am Jodie Brown's sister.) I remember first meeting David at our summer church youth camp and then every year after that, along with some youth retreats and fellowship meetings, etc. We always corresponded for a couple months after camp and then "hooked" up again at the next youth camp. One year we were even voted King and Queen. He was a great childhood friend and I have wonderful memories of his kind spirit and his love for athletics. I was saddened to hear of his passing. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family during this most difficult time. May you cherish all the wonderful memories you've made with David over the years. God bless you and keep you!Janie (Ostrowski) Prazuch

I remember Dave's peanut butter, banana, marshmallow spread sandwiches back in the 70's and when the group of us went to visit him in Tenn. over Thanksgiving at Robert E Lee collage. My condolences to the family at this time. God Bless Steve Blagec
