A very good man. Probably one of the kindest people I have ever known. Though he had many years of illness he was loved by all. Rest in Peace David you deserve a peaceful after life
Dave was absolutely one of my favorite people in Tipton, We talked a lot and even corresponded with some letters over the years since I have moved away from Tipton. I remember always almost instantly getting a smile on my face when I saw him and he always would ask me how multiple family members were doing. I will miss him and can’t wait to see him again someday.
Dave was my neighbor for many years. He lived directly across the alley. Couldn’t ask for a better neighbor.

Dave was a classmate of mine and was interested in working on all of our class reunions. He always cared about his classmates even after he moved to Millers. He was very kind and generous with everyone he knew.
