Jeanette and Charlotte, I have great memories of Dave while growing up in Oak Park. Every time I passed the laundromat on my way to Harding, North, or downtown to work, he was always there with a friendly smile and a wave to make my day! Even now, I cant go through the light at 6th & Euclid without thinking of him. My sympathy goes out to you and your family.

I grew up with Dave in Highland park. In fact he was just nine days younger than me. Boy could he hit a baseball. !!
Many memories at McHenry Park with Rick Petithory -Clark -Gary and the rest of Highland Park gang. They called him The Mayor of Highland Park ...he will be greatly missed.

Dave was and icon in Oak Park for so many years. Sitting on the bench by the Laundromat on 6th Ave just south of Euclid intersection. He always smiled and waved back at everyone as the said hi out the window of their cars waiting for the light to change.
Always made my day to here him holler "Hi Bob" back at me and he would stop in the hardware store and talk quite a bit.
Thanks for being a friend to us all Dave.
May God hold him close and bring comfort to the Schomer family and friends.

I worked with David in Catholic pastoral services at Trinity Center.
David, for the majority of his life, carried on with the burden of his physical disabilities.
His religious faith became a very important part of his being. He enjoyed saying the Our Father
prayer and receiving holy communion from myself and Father Jose.
I will miss my friend
