Please don't hesitate to contact me if there is ANYTHING that I can do to help out in any way...Jacksonville is super-close, and no request is too big or small. Praying that your family can find peace and comfort in knowing that there is now another angel with our heavenly Father, helping to prepare our eternal home and watch over things here. Special prayers for your little ones, and that your sorrow will pass, so that you may cherish, remember and embrace the joy and blessings that you all shared, for the much too short time that Dave was here.

Melanie and family,
I want to express my deepest sympathy over your recent loss. Dave was such a wonderful, caring person. He was always so much fun here in Springfield, MO. He was kind enough even after you moved to the Little Rock area, he stayed in contact with me. That was so special, only a few fellow employees have taken that initiative. I am thrilled to see that Scouts were so important to you and your family. I mourn the fact the troop lost such a wonderful leader. If we can do anything other than send prayers during this difficult time, please let me know.

A bright light has gone out on our street. Dave was the Mayor of Maumelle Drive. He was never too shy to offer his opinion, on any subject, to all of us. But most of all, he never failed to help and support everyone on our street.
Dave, we always knew you would wave and stop in the street in front of our house when you were on one of your errands. You always had something to report on.
You will be missed.
