Dear Joann, Mike and I could not have been more shocked when we saw that Dave passed away! It is hard to express how badly we feel for you.

Even though we haven't been in touch in awhile we have great memories of good times & many laughs when we were with Dave & Joann. We rejoice in having had the opportunity to know the earthly Dave & know he will be watching from above. Our thoughts are with Joann & the rest of the family.

Terry, Debbie and Mrs Neathery; I have nothing but fond memories of Dave and his wonderful sense of humor and engaging personality. I was completely shocked to hear the news, but it did bring back very fond memories of my days in Springfield. I remember playing softball with Dave for the Vic's Pizza team and him making a fantastic running catch of a fly ball, while his hair piece flopped in the wind---I had no idea he even had a hair piece! Heaven has gained a wonderful person and a great sport! I'll miss him. Dave Dunning (Chicago)

I first met Dave playing softball on the YMCA men's softball team back in the early '70s. Many a stories about softball games, lake tournaments, beer on Sunday mornings at 7:00 am and great friend. Vic's Pizza, Lu's Home Tavern and all the great friend we made. Dave invited me to go with his family on a trip to the Bahamas back in the late 70's and that is where he met Joanne and the rest is history. Dave was a great friend that I will always remember and miss. Hit them straight in heaven, Dave.

I worked with Dave years ago at National Food Store on Jefferson (the early seventies). He truly was always there to help with a smile. I later bumped into Dave at Party House, again, always there to help with a smile. He will be missed. My prayers are with his family.

One of the finest people I have ever known, Dave exemplified the true meaning of a friend. He was always there with a smile and a kind word. I've been away from Springfield for a lot of years, but will forever count Dave among my best friends and have nothing but great memories of fun times. I am sure he is the life of a brand new party now. Goodbye my friend.
