Condolences

  • What to say! ... Uncle Dave was the most fun to grow up around. Whether at the lake or in the Heights Dave made me laugh. His own laugh was infectious along with his ever present smile. As I sit here now I cannot remember a single time were he didn't smile. I missed many years after moving to Arizona but my personal childhood memories will last all the days of my life. God's speed Uncle Dave. Thanks for coming into my life and visiting us out here. I still have the hand carved dice hanging from the Stang's mirror. Dottie & Christine and the rest of the family, all our condolences. Love the Arizona Simms Jimmy
  • To the Family,He is only gone for a short time, we will all see him again soon one by one in his glorious body. No more pain. He will be missed .we love you Dave. Dennis and Debi
  • RIP Uncle Dave. Nothing but fond memories as a child being around such a warm goodhearted man. Had a contagious laugh that brighten the room instantly. You will be missed by all. Peace and love, we'll see you on the other side. Joe and Pam Simms, Phx AZ.

  • So very sorry for you loss. God bless and be with you all. Andrea
  • I'm so very sorry Lorrie / Dorothy. Every time I saw Dave he was just a guy I wanted to talk to. One thing that I will remember always . . . It was the 2nd to the last time I saw him and he came up behind me and with a warm smile and arm around my shoulder and asked how I was doing? Here was a man not feeling well, in worse shape than me and asked me how I was doing... Class act, kind man. I will personally miss his laugh and funny remarks, especially about Lorrie's cooking . . . God Bless him. Tony Gray
