David was a great friend and an inspiration to me and many others for his battle against Parkinson’s! I will always remember his words of encouragement and his positive attitude.
Rest in peace my friend!!!
Dave was a great guy, he will be missed
We are all extremely saddened by Dave’s passing. Dave and I were friends from the early 60’s when he and I were roommates at Purdue. After graduation we lived and worked for many years in different parts of the country. In 2004 when my wife, Jo, and I moved to the St Louis area, Dave and I had a chance to activate our friendship activate once again.
Dave took such great pride in his wife, his daughters, their husbands and their grandchildren. He loved to tell stories of how much he enjoyed doing things with members of his family, both together and individually.
It was a privilege to have known Dave and to have him as a friend. I will always cherish the pleasant memories of a man who loved his wife and family dearly. We will all miss him.
Tammy, so sorry to hear of your Dad’s passing. Cyndee was in town Saturday and gave me the news. My prayers and hugs to you and your family. God be with your dad.
Dave was like a teddy bear, laid back and lovable. He was a true friend and gentleman. We have lots of memories to hold in our hearts. Those great grilled steaks he cooked for us on game nights. And I kind of recall Dave winning most of the time when we played games. He was so smart and wise. We had lots of good laughs. And we can’t forget the line dancing and conversation at all the dancing socials we attended. We will miss him dearly. Blessings and prayers to all his family. Know it was a rough time for Dave and all his family battling that terrible disease. God bless.
Tammy & family, I am so sorry to hear about your dad. Sending prayers for all of you during this difficult time.
So sorry for your loss
To Dave’s family and friends,
Sorry to hear of Dave’s passing. I had the pleasure of working with Dave at Boeing and seeing him and Fran at St. Anselm (St Louis Abbey) on occasion. Great guy. Great gal. Fine example of a great human. Condolences to all who knew him.
Joe McGartland and Jill
Fran, So very sorry to hear of Dave’s passing. My thoughts and prayers to you and your family.
Dear Fran,
We are so sorry to hear of David’s passing. We had such fun after the St Anselm donut mass, and going to dinner then playing cards with you both during covid. I remember that Dave was a Purdue grad too-go Boilers! Keep your many good memories close. We will keep you and your family in our prayers.
To Dave’s family,
I was so saddened to read about Dave’s passing & wanted to offer my sincerest condolences on your loss. I feel so fortunate to have worked with Dave in F15 Support Equipment Engineering at McDonnell Douglas/Boeing from 1989 until his retirement in 2005. He was a great colleague, friend & human being. My thoughts & prayers are with you.
I was saddened to hear of Mr Meek’s passing. He was such a kind and gentle man. I can picture the last time I saw him on Donnycave with a smile on his face and a kind word. Fran, Mindy, Tammy and Sally: My prayers are with you as you go through this difficult time. May God be with you and hold you close.
