Betty and family, I am so sorry for your loss. May the good Lord wrap his loving arms around you all during this difficult time. David was a wonderful man and I’m glad I had the chance to know him as a great friend and husband to you, Betty. Please know my thoughts and prayers continue to be with you and your family. With Deepest Sympathy, Love, hugs, and many prayers. Janice and Mike Drew
I met Dave when I left the Navy & joined Eagle Systems in 1991 & worked with him in the NRL shack. If I needed a hand he was there even allowing me & my dog to stay with him, David & Katie while my townhouse was being built. I also enjoyed spending Thanksgiving & or Christmas with his family when I couldn’t make it home to Michigan. My wife and I were so appreciative & happy that Dave & Betty were able to make it to our wedding in December.
My condolences to his family, I am going to miss his no-nonsense, straight forward approach to life. Bill Olney
Brother David, we’re sorry to see you go. I appreciate your love of music and your friendship. Condolences to the family. Godspeed my friend.
My condolences to David’s Son, David, Jr and his family, his Sister, Allison and his Brother, Chris. I have been good friends with David since 1976. We met in a youth group. His Dad, Mr. Bennett and his Grandmother, Mrs. Bennett were like my second family for many years. I played in the US band with David, Chris, Skippy, Jerry and Jimmy. I haven’t seen David in over 42 years, but we’ve kept in touch off and on. David was a great guy. So saddened by his passing at such a young age, 64.
My sincere sympathies to David’s Family! Dave and I worked together for the better part of twenty years. I enjoyed his company!
Sincerely John Beltman
