I have very fond memories of4 yrs. at St. John’s High school with Dave and Judy.
We reconnected at our 50th. reunion and began bimonthly classmate luncheons.
Dave was a generous guy, very proud of his children and grandchildren. We will all miss him.
Dear Judy and Family:
I really liked Dave. His loved you all; it showed in the way he worked long hours when he was young to provide for his family and the joy in his voice when he spoke about any of you.
Dave taught me that you only need one golf ball per round. May be hard to believe, but, that actually improved my game. Thanks Dave.
You are all in my prayers.
I always enjoyed the time w Mr. Odum. Loved the time he, Scott, myself and others hit the ball around at a few tracks and especially the great Chili Open. He also made my first custom Tri-shaft golf driver! Heaven got a good one…. Prayers.
Dave you were such a great neighbor and friend to me! It’s going to be gloomy in the neighborhood without you. Thank you for the countless times you helped me with projects around my home, and you always had the perfect tool I could borrow. Thank you so much…rest in peace…
