Mary Driscoll says
Worked with Dave at MPC. So very sorry for your loss. Sympathy to Dave’s family.
Leo and Tillie McBride says
Tillie and I were saddened to hear of Dave’s passing Debbie. May God’s love make your grief bearable. Dave and I were close friends during our high school years and for a number of years beyond until we both joined the service and drifted apart into our busy lives. I have many great memories of Dave. He was a Groomsman when Tillie and I were married. May you and your family hold onto your loving memories, and let them guide you during this time of sorrow.
Tom Greenough says
The Jacque’s family owned the Cabin next to ours at Silver Lake when we got ours in 1952. As youngsters, we had many adventures together at the Lake. I always considered David a friend, and his memory will remain with me forever. My condolences to his family. May he rest in peace.
