I am so saddened that Dave is not among us anymore. He had such a big heart and was such a genuine man, larger than life. I am grateful that I had him as a mentor and then as a friend. There are many stories that make you smile when celebrating his rich life. Wanda, it will be my honor to continue our annual call after "The Game" with You!

I’m David’s second cousin David Walker (his and my paternal grandmothers were sisters) and I’m very sorry to hear of David’s passing. We hadn’t seen each other since we were young, but I really enjoyed his posts on Facebook. It seemed like that he lived life well. Please accept my condolences to his immediate family and friends.

This is truly a shock. Dave seemed so full of life at our 67th reunion in 2024.

I'm sorry to hear of Dave's passing. We had known each other for a long time as we started grade school together in 1945. He led a rich and fruitful life. He will be missed by his class members.

Wanda, Dave was truly larger than life...so much fun, so kind and thoughtful. Casey and I loved to share good times with you two. Dave's faith was an inspiration. Peace be with you. Love, Sally
