My deepest sympathy to Jan, Dave's children and grandchildren, as well as other family and friends. I was very surprised and saddened to hear the news of Dave's illness and passing while reading the recent MHS class of '71 newsletter written by our classmate Stu Smith. This was "after the fact", so I missed the calling hours and funeral. No doubt these events were a wonderful tribute to Dave's life. I have shared these memories in our class newsletter but will share again. I enjoyed many hours working with Dave, while we were in high school, at The Hub which was Madison's first fast food restaurant. Working with Dave was filled with fun. I also enjoyed seeing Dave( and his beloved bride and fellow classmate Jan)at our class reunions. My husband and I were also blessed to have had dinner with Dave, Jan and a few other classmates a number of years ago. My heart breaks for all of you and I know Dave will be missed by many.

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of David. The loss of a loved one can bring much pain and sorrow. Isaiah 25:8 reads, “ He will swallow up death forever, And the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces.” I hope these words bring you comfort during these difficult times. I will keep the family in my prayers.

Jim, Sally and I are very sad to here the news about your older brother. I know he must have been a great person since his younger brother is one of the greatest and I am sure you got a lot of that greatness from him. We are keeping you and all your family in our thoughts and prayers. Bob & Sally Larkin
