Gone but NEVER forgotten.

Great man, friend and doctor , maybe gone but never ever forgotten ......

It's been almost a year since Dave died, I still can't come to terms with what happened. He was such a good man and needed by so many people, most of all his family. Lord, take care of Dave, as he took care of so many.

I was shocked and very sad to hear of Dr. Driscoll's passing. His efforts and kindness helped me so much in my quest to get my disability income, as it was really his records that convinced the court of my case. I can't say how thankful I was to him for that, and for all the other things he did as well. The gentle voice, the remembering personal things about you, the compassion, and the magical way he managed to fix so many problems that I thought would be permanent, not to mention all the information about my own body that no other doctor ever shared with me. I miss him very much, and will continue to miss him. I wish his family and friends all the best in their healing.

We were so very sad to hear of Dr. Driscoll's passing. We were out of the country for a extended time and came home to this terrible news.

Dave was our chiropractor and friend for many years. He helped so many people along the way in so many ways. He will be missed by many, but he left a lasting legacy for all of us. A life well-lived.

Our heart felt sympathy goes out to his family, who he loved so very much.

I am in a state of shock. I have known Dave for almost 35 years. We studied and played a lot of basketball together at Logan. We sat together in the same Chiropractic class for years and graduated together. He was always one of my heros and over the years was a low maintenance friend. Even though we didn't talk for years when we did it was like we had seen each other only weeks before. We occasionally would talk by phone but the years get away from us and before we know it something like this can happen. He was one of the most intelligent, nicest people that I have ever known. With Dave, what you saw is what you got, he was the real deal. He was good at everything he ever tried. His passing has left a hole in my heart. My sincere sympathies go out to his family and to all those who will miss him. I also read all of the comments and he was certainly a man well loved. They all described the man that I knew too. What a loss, not only to our profession, but to the world in general.

Our love and prayers go out to the Driscoll family at this time. I am still in shock at this news. His life was an inspiration to us all. May God bless your family.

The Owens and Anderson families wish to extend their warmest regards and wishes to the Driscoll Family. Having attended school and grown up the Driscoll’s children we are just so thankful that we had the privilege of knowing Dr. Driscoll and his legacy of compassion. Also living just down the street we will miss seeing the Driscolls out for their daily walk.

I knew Dr. Driscoll since I was about 5 years old. I'm now almost 22 and I still will never forget his smile, sense of humor, and his genuine love for people and kind heart. His care and compassion for his family and patients was quite evident. I was so saddened to hear about his death, but I have so many wonderful memories and I KNOW he is with the Lord.

After just reading every single entry written to acknowledge Dr. Driscoll, I now must concisely and with controlled emotion share my memories. My daughter, Rachel and I began treatment with Dr. Driscoll in 1993 when she was only 5. Not many months after that, I suffered a concussion, and went into deep depression with a seizure disorder. Dr. Driscoll at times when I could not drive, and had no one to get me in to his office, drove after hours to my house to administer cranial adjustments to help pull me out of a debilitating seizure or migraine headache or something. There was even the time that I was in my GP's office, went into a seizure, and when my Osteopath could not pull me out of it, he called Dr. Driscoll. Within 30 minutes, Dr. Driscoll arrived, tapped on the back of my neck, and ten minutes later I was breathing normally, speaking, and could walk without the use of a wheelchair.

When my insurance would no longer cover my care, I began taking in the occasional cheesecake or cookies, or something special, because I could not always afford to pay for our care. But over the years, he would say, "if you ever need help, be sure to call me. I'll help you".

My daughter looked up to him tremendously, and began to think about entering a career in chiropractic. When she graduated from High School a few years ago, he sent her a card with a $50 check.

Like so many other friends and patients, we considered him our friend, and more than just our chiropractor. From time to time I kept in touch, and always let him know how much his time, love, and care meant to both of us.

Joan, you can be so proud that God gifted you with someone to share your life with who lived his life with so much integrity. I remember hearing over the years of Jenny's graduation (I sent her a card), Matt's graduation, Jenny's marriage, Nikki's birth, and on and on.

You are all so blessed to have such wonderful memories of his life, and my prayers today will be that you will continue to see his life around you as a constant reminder of his gifts to you all. May God in His gracious wisdom and mercy keep you close and guide you through the days and weeks ahead.

My sincerest sympathies to the Driscoll family. I will miss his passion for life, his family, and his patients. He will be missed by whose lives he touched.

I was shocked and saddened by the news of David's death. We went to High School together, and he is one of the stars that shine from our time there. I wish his family peace in the knowledge that David has gone on to glory and waits for all those he loved.

Joan and Family,
I have waited to see if the right words would come that would help bring comfort to you and your family. As you see they have not. I can't believe this horrible thing has happened. David was a wonderful man as we all know, and will be greatly missed. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

I am so sorry to here of the passing of Dr. Driscoll.
I considered him a mentor,a teacher,and a great healer.
I am eternally greatful for the wisdom and knowledge and words he shared with me. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

To Joan and ever loving family of Daves. I too had no idea he passed away until I received the card in the mail. What a great loss.Dave was not just our Chiropractor he was our friend and mentor.Dave was always so proud of his family.Our thoughts and prayers and go out to you Joan and family. God Bless you.

I read of a man who stood to speak at the funeral of a friend. He referred to the dates on his headstone from beginning to end. He noted that the first came the date of his birth, and spoke the following date with tears, but he said what mattered most of all was the dash between the years...
(Linda Ellis)
Dave has an enviable dash!

I am still in a state of shock and disbelief. Though I have been away from Colorado for five years, he was always a part of my life. No chiropractor can ever fill his shoes. He made a difference in my life and I will always cherish the time I was in his care of my body and my soul. May his love and your cherished memories ease the pain of so unexpected loss.

To Dave's family and friends,I grew up with Dave in Security, Colorado. I fondly remember him from grade school and junior high. My condolences to all of you in this time of sorrow. May this Holy Week bring you hope and sustain you in your grief...Susan Tjornehoj, pastor

My deepest condolences to the Driscoll family. I am deeply saddened by the loss of such a wonderful man and doctor. Dr. Driscoll will truly be missed by the Wolfe Family.

I was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Dr. Driscoll. He was one of the finest men I ever met. His caring and sincerity were nothing short of amazing.
When I hadn't seen him in 12 years and walked into his office at 6:00 a.m. unannounced his face lit up and he called me by name and asked personal questions about family, my place of work and even some of my favorite hobbies. I was absolutely amazed (again) by his caring attitude. Only a person that cares very deeply for his fellow man could present himself the way he did.
My condolences go out to Dr. Driscolls family, he will be greatly missed even by those of us who only had the privilege of knowing him through his practice.
God Bless

I am heartbroken to learn of Dr. D's passing. I was a patient of his for nearly 30 years, and in that time, he became not only my most respected healer, but also a cherished friend. Our whole family counted on him, not only for his professional care, but also for his gentle, warm, fun-loving manner. We know we will meet him again on the other side of Heaven's gate. Our deepest sympathy goes to his family. His love for his wife, children, and grandchildren was obvious, and we know he will be so very greatly missed. Please know that our prayers are with you as we join you in sorrow at this time.

I am truly in shock right now,I had no idea that Dr. Driscoll had passed away until I received the card in the mail tonight. My condolences go out to Dr. Driscolls family, he will be greatly missed.

I never trusted Chiropractors but someone told me about Dr. Driscoll and how he would listen to me. I went and couldn't believe what a wonderful man I met; that was many moons ago. We shared reading material and hashed over authors after we caught up on the grandchildren. I will miss him alot. Our prayers go out to the family and I know he is still watching over everyone.

I will miss you very much! Kathy Williams

It often takes a phone call to remind us how quickly time flies and how easy it is to fall out of touch with old friends. I was out of town when my buddy, Carol, left us the message about Dave’s passing.

The first thing I remembered about Dave was his intelligence. In one of our English classes, Dave read a page selected at random from a book. Then he recited it from his “photographic memory” the following week. I also got to witness his genuine respect for others and commitment to service while we were in Student Cabinet. He had an easy sense of humor that helped get tasks done without taking things too seriously.

Joan, from the guy who used to live next door, I hope you can find comfort in all the prayers being said for you and your family. Last Sunday, my pre-Confirmation kids and I prayed for you all. Our closing prayer is always a prayer of petition. I related to them how Dave helped heal people, physically and spiritually. From the many comments posted here, we know he was truly gifted

Once the pain subsides, we will cherish the legacy he left to his family, friends and patients. He was willing to share his kind and gentle manner, his subtle style of impish humor, his sensibility, his love of life, and, above all, the importance of family. He modeled these traits evey day, to everyone he met. This will be his legacy to us as we fondly remember him.
Love and good memories to the entire Driscoll family.

In his own way he said it best, "Have a better day."

I know David (Doc) was a good friend and neighbor to my mom, Elma Nickell. He will be missed by her and others in the neigborhood and the West Side.

He could always make you smile and laugh even if you were in pain. I will so miss his gentile nature, incredible ability to heal and that silly little basketball hoop over the trashcan...

he always made it in didn't he...and the crowd cheered!

I went to High School with Dave and he was always a wonderful friend. Catechism classes were always more interesting with Dave around. My heart goes out to the family. I know he was well loved and cherished. Time seems to go so fast and we never know when the Lord needs us to go home. May you know comfort with Dave being in the Lord's arms.

We just learned of the death of Dave. Our deepest sympathy to the Driscoll family. I knew Dave in High School. But then I was a patient of his in my adult years. He was not only a great doctor for my pain but his positive and encouraging manner was always uplifting for the soul. He lived his Christian beliefs in his daily actions. Dave always spoke highly of his wife and family and the joy they were in his life. He had a way of making a person laugh and smile even in pain through his smile and funny jokes and personality. He will be greatly missed. May God give you comfort and peace in this great loss.

I will miss Dave more than I can say!

When Dave was in high school he gathered such respect from all of us. He always was a true gentleman, yet always fun with his quiet sillly ways. I have several memories of long talks with him, during nights of uncertainty with our lives changing around us. Ah..I'll miss you Dave, you were a great friend to all of us during those times.

My heart and prayers go out to Dave's family. I can not even imagine their sorrow and pain. There are no words big enough to acurately describe what a wonderful person and doctor Dave was. He was a miracle worker and healer. Dave was my chiropractor, medical doctor, phyiscal therpist,psychiatrist and friend. He saved me from numerous trips to the hospital with my kids, myself and my father. Whenever, someone in our family was diagosed with something ugly, you knew there was some hope because we Dave to depend on. Dave would create some kind of magic/healing. Dave was like having 10 specialized doctors all wrapped up into one. My daughter was diagnosed with shingles. Her doctor wanted to start her on medication which was known to be seriously toxic to the kidneys and liver. Instead, Dave worked his magic again without,the toxic drugs, for several months and she has been in remission for a year! Dave even saved my daughter's chinchilla's life. The little guy had an accident and the vet placed him on a debilitating pain medication. He wasn't drinking water or eating. When I called the vet back and told him he abruptly said there was nothing else he could do.I called Dave in a panic. The first thing he said was to get him off the medication. Dave said to feed him water and V8 juice(low in sodium!) every two hours. He saved the little guys life. He even called the next day to check on him! Dave talked of his wife,Joan, his kids and granddaughter with such love and pride. He once told me he was the luckyiest man alive. He was saint and the kindest person.We were all blessed to have him in our lives. He was the true meaning of a christian. Dave made you want to be a better person. He will be missed. My heart and prays go out to the family he deeply loved and treasured. God Bless!

There are certain people that enter everyone's life at one point or another that end up having such a dramatic impact upon your life that you can never leave the same as you did before meeting them. Dr. Driscoll was truly one of those people!! I met Dave through my wife who had been seeing him as a patient for over 15 years. Being in the Air force, most of the time I had to come in after work in Uniform. Dr Driscoll started calling me "General" which always brought a smile to my face no matter how my day had been. He was one of nicest, kindest and most caring individuals that I had ever had the opportunity to meet. He will be truly missed by our family as I am sure he will be by everyone who ever had the pleasure of meeting him. Our prayers and condolences go out to his family. May God grant them the strength and peace to get through this difficult time.

I am so grateful to have known Dr. Driscoll. I saw him for over 15 years. He saw me grow from a very sick soul to a proud woman, and his kindness and wisdom was essential in that transformation. I will miss him dearly as a mentor and a friend. David you helped me change my life and I loved and respected you as a father. Thank you so much. I will always remember you and and you will continue to be a source of love and guidance in my life and in my son's. I was trying to make an appointment today, I didn't know you were gone. I wanted to let you know my husband and I were expecting again. I am sure you know. I can't begin to say how important you were in my life. "Good morning" Dr. Driscoll. Your light will shine with those you knew for the rest of our lives.

Please accept my sympathy in your loss of David. He and other of his friends used to visit in our home with our daughters Kathy and Karen when he was in high school at Widefield. He was so much fun.

My husband are Joe and Paula Pastuer we are The Glassblowers of Manitou. We had the privlege of knowing him as patients, Joe and him seemed to find many things to talk about and really hit it off. I got to know him through sciatic problem, He talked about how much he loved his cabin and his toys I got a kick out of his basketball net in the garbage can, I think he had a great record of hitting the basket. We never met Joan, our thoughts and prayer are with you and your family.

Joan

I am so sorry for your loss, the heartbreak is overwhelming. Know that I and all your friends thoughts and prayers are with you.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Driscoll family in this difficult time. May God be with you all.

I meet Dr. Driscoll at a Bioranial homecoming and found him to be caring and compassionate instructor in this "new" technique for me!! I have a patient that used to fly up to see Dave!! We both send our condolences and prayers to the family.

Words fail me. Shock & disbelief don't begin to express the feeling within. Dr. Dave has been my only doctor since he began with G.W. so many years ago. He was more than just 'my chiropractor', he was a friend & mentor; the absolute benchmark of integrity. He taught me much over the years. We loved to share a joke & a laugh. You always wanted the best for him, just as he wanted the best for you. He had a true gift, a God given ability to help & heal. He made you feel better at every level. I am a better person for having known him. He will be well remembered. My heartfelt sympathy & prayers go out to the family.

Dr. Driscoll came into my life in 1979, I was looking for a good chiropractor. What i found in him was special. As i got to know him, I realized that he not only adjusted my back but he also gave my life and attitude an adjustment. He was a positive force for me that i looked forward to seeing at my next appointment. I don't know what I am going to do with out him. I know that God was proud of him. He was the kind of man that I would hope to be. God Bless his family, from The Espinoza Family.

God took a superb man to be with Him last Saturday. Dave was a true servant and will always be remembered. I am confident that his care for others has earned him many rewards in Heaven. May God bless his family.

I am so sorry for your loss. You are all in my prayers. God be with you all during this difficult time.

I'm still in shock. Our prayers and love go out to your family in your time of need. I played poker many nights with David and his "little man" which always seemed to be full or overflowing by the end of the night, just like his love and unselfishness. We will miss you and know that God is with you.

All of us in our lives hope to know one great person who who made a difference not only in our existence, but in everyone's around them. Dave Driscoll was that person for me. He saved me from surgery and became my friend the first day we met. He was an inspiration and a calm spirit that made life better with every word. I only wish I could have done as much for him as he did for me. May God bless the Driscoll family in this sad time and always. And for you Dr. Dave......

May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
May the rains fall soft upon your fields,
And, until we meet again,
May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.

I am still in shock at the loss of Dr. Driscoll. He was such a great friend to me for the past 30 years. He has helped me through several years of physical pain as well as emotional. I loved him like a brother. I will miss him dearly.
My heart goes out to his family. I am so sorry.
Vicki Lee

I met David in the first grade and he has been a special person in my life ever since. Although I am greatly grieved by his loss I will always remember how well he lived... his family devotion,his goofy humor,his brilliant mind,his high integrity,his calm nature and his gift of self to others.

David was a loving and faithful man,who loved life and is now with his God and reaping his heavenly reward.

My sincere sympathy to all his family,friends and colleagues.

"The most difficult thing is to love life even as we suffer.But life is God and to love life is to love God"
Leo Tolstoy

I can't even begin to say what a great loss there will be in this world without Dr. Dave in it. He was one of the most amazing people I have ever met.I can't thank him enough for taking care of me for so many years. He was always able to see you on a moments notice. And I always had a better day after seeing him, not just physically but mentally. He would always make me smile no matter how bad a day I was having. My prayers are with you and your family. I will always have a special place in my heart for him.

My sincerest apologies and prayers go out to Jenny and Matt and the rest of the Driscoll family. Your are in my thoughts.

I am very sad to learn of Dave's passing. My deepest sympathy to his loved ones. We went to Jr.High and High School together. Dave was a great guy and from reading the many tributes it is quite evident that he was a great man.

I had been seeing Dr. D for at least 6 months now, my fiance and his family have known him for 30 years and said you will love him well they were right!! How could you not! He was such a warming and caring man/Dr. He really truely cared for his patients and was truely an ANGEL. He was very genuine and became such a good friend and really made you feel important. Its hard to find a Dr like that there isnt one out there like Dr D!!! You will be missed more than words can express. My heart goes out to his family at this sad time. As well as all his patients and lives of so many that he has touched what an awesome expereince to have known him.

My deepest sympathy and prayers go out to the Driscoll family. God be with you all.

To the Family and Friends of David Driscoll:
I was so sorry to read about your loss. May the memories of happy times with David and the love of family and friends encourage you in the days ahead. Please allow the scriptures to comfort you as well. Psalm 34:18--God is near to those that are broken-hearted and crushed in spirit. You are in my prayers.

My heart goes out to you and your family at this time. I did not personally know David, but I had heard many wonderful things about him over the years. If he is anything like his father, I know he was a man among men.

Like Kay Jenson, I have known Dave since elementary school at Widefield Elementary. We went to school together through college at El Paso Community College (now Pikes Peak). It is not often that one can only have fond memories of another - and I have many. I remember being in band where Dave played the drums and timpany; I recall when Dave returned to school at Watson after the summer break between 7th and 8th grade, and he no longer sported a flat-top - what a diffence! I remember dancing with Dave at our junior high dances. I know that when Dave attended Canon City Abbey, during our sophomore year, school just wasn't the same. When he returned to Widefield High for our junior and senior years, he did make a difference. Dave was the quarterback of our football team until his back forced him to change to the tennis team, but he still played basketball. I remember that Dave was the first male that I knew who did wear socks with his shoes - which seems kind of silly now, but I can still see those bare ankles. My other memory is playing fooseball between classes in college.
I can say that I was fortunate to speak with Dave a few years ago when I was in Colorado for our 30th class reunion - Dave did not attend, but just talking to him was good enough for me.
One other thing I will always remember is that Dave liked German Chocolate cake, and I made him one once.
The world is not going to be the same without Dave Driscoll in it, but we are better off that he was here, and his memory will always stay in our hearts.
My sincere sympathy goes out to Dave's entire family - you are in my prayers and thoughts. Please know that many people around the country (and the world) are thinking of you.

I knew Dave from high school. It saddens me to know he's left this existence. My heartfelt condolences to his family. May God give you the strength in your time of need.

Dave was my friend , my rock and confidant. Such a kind yet very powerful man. His passion for the Bio Cranial practice and organization which I serve was undeniable. His love and service to Dr. Robert Boyd the founder of the Bio Cranial System inspired me. He served the organization with a zeal that put most of our members to shame. Always there for anyone who needed a helping hand. He always lightened my load with encouraging words and thoughts of kindness. I will miss him. I am sure he will hear the words "well done my good and faithful servant.” Things on the other side of the veil will not be the same since his arrival. My prayer is for safety and comfort for his family whom he held so dear. Till we meet again Dave!
Dr Douglas Hays director of Quality Control for the Bio Cranial Institute.

Words cannot express how shocked we are. All members of my family has seen Dr. D and he will be forever missed. No one can fill that void he has left for he was a special and blessed man. He has always impressed us with how he could genuinely care about you and fix you at the same time! He spent time with you to help you andhe always has. The fact that he was always so jolly was your reward. What a great and awesome guy, person, doctor, friend, father, and husband. He will be missed. May the Lord comfort you and your family druing these difficult days ahead and always. God bless you all.

Dave was a great man and a wonderful friend! I always enjoyed being with him. He would come to my office almost every Thursday so we could trade adjustments and chat a little. This morning was difficult knowing he wouldn’t be here. I will miss David immensely. May God bless and comfort all of us who knew David (family, friends, and patients) as we go on without him!

We met Dr. David at the San Diego BioCranial Homecoming in 2007. The thing we remember most from our fist encounter was his warm, friendly smile. This is the way we will keep his memory in our hearts.
Our prays for the family is that the Lord will meet you in your time of need and give you His peace and comfort that transcend our understanding.

Dr. Driscoll was indeed an amazing healer of the highest integrity and skill. It is no wonder so many loved him as he knew that everyone was special and he honored the whole person in each of us. His humor, smile and caring nature united with his chiropractic skills and ever relevant suggestions of a piece of emotional work to consider enhanced his ability to assist ones in healing at many levels. It is rare to find a person who is able to humbly balance work, faimly and spirit within a harmonious and joyful life. I feel blessed to have been a patient of his, to have benefitted from his healing hands, warmth and wisdom. Dr. Driscoll, you truly were a giant of a man. Now, I sense you smiling at us as we find the courage to give oursleves an incredible adjustment, that of adjusting to your departure.

Words cannot express what needs to be communicated in such a time as this, still my heart is with the family of Dr. D. Frequently, he spoke of all of you with love and humor, especially his wife Joan. His demeanor always became quite soft when I asked him about his granddaughter. How fortunate for all of the family that you were so very close. May the light of God illuminate your hearts and the light give you strength. Deep peace to you.

Dr. Driscoll was such a light for our family. We traveled over an hour at least once a month to Dr. Driscoll's office because he was an extraordinary chiropractor and man. He always knelt down to greet my two small children and always said "Good Morning!" even if it was three in the afternoon. He always put a smile on our faces. Our entire family will deeply miss him. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family in this tough time. We can't wait for the day we will see him again.

Thinking of you with thoughts and prayers may God surround you with His love at this time .
My heart and love go out to you Joan , Jennifer ,
Nicole, Matt and Anna and the rest of the family .
Dr. D was my daughter Lori and my saving grace from the
first time we step into his office 30 yrs ago . Dr. D
will truly be missed not only for his healing hands but
for his kindness and interest he showed to each of his patients .
Sincerely , LaDonna Veneigh

My deepest sympathy and prayers are with the Driscoll/Valle families. I had the honor of working for Dr. Driscoll back in the late 80's. To me, Dr. D was unlike any other person I had ever known. His calm, caring, healing touch was immeasurable. He was an amazing healer and friend to all that came to his practice. I am so blessed to have known a man like Dr. Driscoll, it's like he was from a time that has passed. I will forever miss coming to see him when I travel to Colorado Springs. I cherish the time I had visiting with him last May and the unbelievable adjustment I recieved from him. I know we all will miss his healing touch, but more than that, his effortless, sincere friendship. Joan, may the Lord comfort you and your family during these difficult days ahead and always. God Bless.

From Ireland, what a grievious loss David's passing has been. Our first meeting with him was in 1989 and we knew we were in the presence of a man of integrity and quality. Our prayers go to Joan, Matthew, Jennifer and all the extended family.

Robert and Vera Boyd

I am deeply saddened by the sudden passing of our beloved Dr. Dave. He was a man who demonstrated genuine care, concern and interest for everyone in his personal and professional life. I will miss his sense of humor, wisdom, great character and unique gift of connecting to others. My sincere thoughts and prayers are with his family. The quote by Albert Pike seems so fitting for Dr. Dave:

"What we do for ourselves alone dies with us; what we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal."

I can't believe it!

My daughter and I met Dr. Driscoll just over two weeks ago. Dr. Driscoll was extremely competent as a medical practioner, but what set him apart was his gentleness and compassion he had for all.

He will be sorely missed.

My family and I were blessed to know Dr. Dave for many years. He was a unique and giving soul. From a smile or sage advice to his skilled care and clever sense of humor, you always left his office feeling comforted. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family. Dave: Thank you for being my friend and doctor. Words can not express my gratitude and what you meant to me and my family. We will miss you tremendously. Smith and Sharkey Family

My deepest condolences to his family.

I had the tremendous honor of working side by side with Dr. Driscoll, as we were both members of the inaugural International BioCranial Board or Regents .. and what a honor it was. David was quiet and humble powerhouse; a man of faith, confidence and belief .. and he had the uncanny knack of making one feel better about themselves just having been in his presence for a few moments. He was a light-hearted, people building encourager, and his well thought out, ever succinct contributions to the BioCranial business at hand will be greatly missed. He was a larger than life big brother mentor to me from the very moment I met him in that first BioCranial class (Mundelein, Il.) in the summer of 1994 .. a day that proved to be a fork in the road of my personal and profession life. I can see him now in my mind's eye, telling me in no uncertain terms: "the proof of the pudding is in the tasting..", smiling all the while, nodding his head in the affirmative. I mourn with David's family, with his patient's, with our fellow Board members, with Dr. Boyd and Vera, and with the entire BioCranial community .. and I look so forward to that day when we will see him again. In closing, let me just say that I loved David and he so very powerfully impacted my life, as he did so many lives. If I can be half the practioner and half the man .. I will have done well in this life.

Dr. D was the greatest role model the Lord could have ever given us to look up to. He always welcomed us with a warm smile, a listening ear and a humorous comment or two. In turn, he sent us on our way with a renewed mental and physical spirit and some encouraging words to guide us along our way until we meet again. May his undying love, patience, and guidance be with us always. I truly believe God threw away the mold when he created Dr. D. There is not another person/Dr. on earth that is quite like him. He will be dearly missed! Our thoughts and prayers are with the Driscoll family during this sorrowful time.

I pray that God gives strength and understanding to your entire family during this difficult time in your lives. Over the years we all go seperate directions and sadly, it's times like these that bring us home. Your family has always held a special place in my heart, and we will all miss Dave. Bless you all.

Sorry to hear of his passing. I always liked Dave. Good man. I gave him an adjusting table years ago, as he first started in practice. We were not close, but, I always thought of him as my friend.

I knew David from the 2nd grade to graduation as a classmate. He was always kind and gracious. I have thought of him many times in the long years past and wondered how he was doing. My deepest sympathies to his extended family and friends.

Dr. Dave has been a part of our family for almost 30 years. I started going to him after his dad, who was my boss, talked about him all the time. Then our children started seeing him and now they travel here just to bring the grankids to see him. He was never far from our thots - a twinge, a twist, a tear - you'd think, "Should I ask Dr. Dave about this?" The kids use the hypodermic in the toy doctor kits as an activator - "like Dr. Dave." It's so unbelievable that he is gone. Glenn & Ruth, Joan, Jenny & Nikki, Matt & Anna and all of your extended families are in our prayers as we ask for strength and comfort for you. Dr. Dave was a healer, a comforter, a confidant, a friend and the only solace I can find is that after taking such good care of us, he is now being cared for.

I'm sorry that I didn't stay in closer contact with Dave in our adult years. He was a great friend in Jr. High and high school, and actually saved me from a serious fall once at Helen Hunt Falls. My heart goes to his family and friends; his loss is terribly painful for those left behind. May God be your strength and solace in the days ahead.

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.

What tremendous loss we feel and we had only known Dr. Driscoll for a short time. What an amazing legacy he has left to his children and grandchildren.

We met Dave and Joan and their family when my mother married Dave’s father, Glenn. We were delighted that she had married into such a warm and loving family. Our hearts are with all the Driscolls this week, as you mourn Dave’s passing and celebrate his life.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Visiting Dr. Dave was not only physically healing but emotionally as well. I never once left his office without a smile. Apparently someone in Heaven needed a good chiropractor, because he was the best. He has helped our family so much, from babies with ear infections to adults that trip on the sidewalk. He always helped us find the humor in whatever silly accident landed us on his table. He will be greatly missed by all he touched.

Very sorry for this loss. I know Dave helped many through his talents. I have known the Driscoll and Valle families for 45 - 50 years. Have always enjoyed and respected the Driscoll/Valle families. David will be missed by all. I know our father, Cliff Chambers, would have been deeply saddened from this loss to your families.

Although Deb and I have not seen Dave in more than 30 years our memories of him are as vivid as though we were on the Little League field in Widefield just yesterday. There is a sadness in his parting, but there is also a joy of knowing that Dave touched and influenced so may lives. We would like to send our deepest condolences to all of his family and friends.

I was truly saddened to learn of Dr. Driscoll's passing. He was always available to his patients and so very caring. My thoughts and prayers are with you his family during this time of sorrow.

Dr. Dave was truely an angel on earth to everyone who knew him. Dave's been taking care of me since I was a baby with ear infections, and my entire family has been touched by his kindness and constant compassion. He wasn't our doctor, he was our friend. My heart goes out to Dave's entire family in this time of mourning, he will be missed by all. Dave, the Smith family is greatful to have known you and has been truely enriched by your presence.~Danielle, Lauren, Heather, Jessica, Darrel, Diane, and Ken

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

I have been a patient of David's for 20 years and have been the recipient of his skilled and knowledgeable care, a witness to his kind soul, and a recipient of his quick and sharp sense of humor. He adored his family and I will truly miss not only his care that I relied on as a physician, but also the sense of friendship and camraderie that we shared over the years.
My love and prayers go out to Joan and his family.

Our thoughts and prayers will be with the Driscoll family in this trying time. Dr. Driscoll has been apart of our lives for 30 years. Always with a gentle touch healing our pain. Dr. Driscoll was such a gentle, kind, caring person. More than just a a chiropractor but a confidant and a friend. It is hard to believe he is no longer with us. Our prayers will be with his family and friends.

Well, I am Dave's daughter in-law, and I figure this is the place I will leave my tribute. I had the honor for a short while to get to know Dave. I, of course, only really saw his "family man" side. And it was amazing to me how much one man could pour into his family. He cherished Joan, in a fashion from another time. His devotion to her was all consuming. His unsurpassed character shaped the lives of his children and his joy, Nikki, never ceased to delight him. It is remarkable to me, now to see how much he touched the lives of so many other people. I find it both inspiring and humbling that one man can have such an earthly impact. In short, I am proud that I had the opportunity to be a part of his life, and I am even more proud to be able to tell our future children about the life that their grandfather lived. Thank you to everyone for your tremendous show of support.

My family put our lives in Dr. D's gentle and healing hands for the past 17 yrs. His care and concern for each of us was endearing. We will miss him so much…his touch, his serenity, his humor and most of all, his ever-smiling face. We are praying for you, his cherished family, that the peace of God and love of friends would envelope you during this time. We rejoice that one day we will be reunited in Heaven but until then, may Dave’s life be an example to us of how our Father desires us to live.

I have been a patient of Dr. D's for over ten years now and I just can't hardly beleive that he is gone. He was a very calm and gentle soul. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. He will be truely missed

My deepest sympathies to the Driscoll family. Dr. Driscoll has been caring for my family for 30 years. I was only a child when I first stepped into his office. As the years passed I entrusted my child to him. He was more than just a doctor, but a loving, caring man, always had a kind word to say. He was truely one of the great ones and will be missed from all who had the pleasure of knowing him. I will miss you

My prayers and support are fully focused with the Driscoll family this week. I have great memories growing up in Colorado and spending time with David and his family. My heart goes out to his family and friends - I pray for God's strength and love to surround the Driscoll family.

With love,

To the Driscoll Family:
Mere words can't explain the sympathy I have for all of you. Dr. D was a wonderful man and will be missed by all!
May God bless you in this time of sorrow.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.
All my love-
