Dearest Mildred and Family: just so sad to hear of the passing of David.
We know your sadness is great. It is comforting to remember the gold old days we shared as family friends for so long. I know my brother Steve and David had some great kid fun times at Crosslake. It is just great to remember those times when we all would gather for picnics and a swim in White4fish Lake.
Our love and sympathy to all....Nancy and Bob Pentico

I am so sorry for your loss. Dave was a wonderful and unique man. My association with him through the Mid-Iowa Caged Bird Society was enjoyable and precious. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I apologize I could not make it to the visitation or funeral. Please accept these condolences.
