My heart is heavy today as I learned of Dave’s passing. Having the unique opportunity to work with Dave and Teri on the Westerville play. He still called me Mrs Nixdorff every time he saw me. His smile and general jovial nature will never be forgotten.
I wish there was a magic wand to take away your pain. But know that your memories will envelope you and warm you. My prayers are with you.

Dear Jessica and Family,
There are no words to describe your pain and the loss of your dad’s physical presence in your lives. But his love and the many memories you have gathered in your minds and hearts over the years will blanket you and protect you in your saddest moments to comfort you and carry you forward to brighter days.
Fondly…Carla

Teri and family. We are so sorry to hear of the passing of David. He will be greatly missed by all choir members and his church family. His wit was enjoyed in the bass section plus his vocal support that we always needed.
