We remember Dave and Peg dating in high school - a lot of fun. It seemed like Dave was Peg's rock to lean on, but I know Peg has quietly been Dave's rock too through all these years. Rest in peace, Dave. Our best wishes to the Pingel Family as you move forward with your lives.

Sorry to hear of Dave's passing. He was a sincere and genuine person who always saw the best in people. I always enjoyed talking economics with Dave when he was helping Paul with field work. Not an easy task to find someone to talk economics. He was extremely intelligent in a wide range of areas and I will miss our great discussions. Sincerely Wayne

Peg, Louie and families: I was happy to see Dave and Peg at our 50th St. Edmond reunion. I agree with others that he was a gentle soul and will be missed terribly by friends as well as family. My thoughts and prayers with you all. Judy

Dave was a high-school classmate and I see that he remained that old-fashioned term, "a gentleman," for his entire life. His beautiful family was fortunate to have him -- he and Peg created a wonderful world for themselves and for their children and grandchildren. May time and your memories comfort you. I am so sorry for your loss -- and grateful that I got to talk with him a year ago at the class reunion. Love and prayers to you all, Rosalie
