Dear Cindy, Ian
To me David was a special person .When I was struggling with some issues I would observe David and He would bless me by his presence and attitude . His smile was a smile you could not forget. Those times we sat together in the services at CFC to hear him sing ,pray were also very special. His love for people all around the world was also a unique gift David had and applied. May God Bless
In Him

And where your treasure is certainly your heart is too. And where your heart is, that's your home. And when we all get to heaven what a day of rejoicing THAT will be! Love to you.

As a member of the Class of 1979, I have known Dave since we were teenagers. I was so sorry to learn of his battle with MS, and I participated in two MS fundraising walks when I lived in San Diego to help find a cure for this disease.

To Cindy and Ian, the Hyle's and Mrs. Bezek - May God grant you peace during this very difficult time. Dave's memory will live on in those that loved him.

You have my deepest sympathy.

Sincerely,

Cindy, Ian and Sue, It is with thoughts of love and sympathy that we write to you this week. David was a very special Husband, Father, Son and friend and will surely be missed by many. We will keep him in our thoughts and prayers but more important at this time is that you are all in our thoughts and prayers. Today, David is with God in heaven while we are left here to mourn his passing. It is because of our love of David and Our Loving Lord that we will move on. David will be missed, but never forgotten. May the Blessings of Our Eternal Lord and Savior by your light and salvation.

We loved David very much. We stated at his wedding that he was the one we would have chosen for our daughter if we could have made the choice. His parents-in-law,

I wish to add my condolences, thoughts and prayers to the Family and Friends. I was alerted to this sad passing of J. David by my mother. My connection to him was by the way of his parents, John & Sue. They were great friends and church members of my parents, Mike & Leona Kiehart in Endwell, NY, and with myself and sisters. Along with my parents I enjoyed many visits with them at both their JC home and ours. Sue was also my sister Karen's Godmother. As a very young boy I remember listening and admiring John play the accordian for us. I'm sorry to say I remember very little about Dave, partly because he was so young and me already 12 at the time of his birth. I do recall the happiness and joy his arrival was to his parents. And afterwards I heard of some of Dave's achievements. I'm not the least bit surprised to read now how learned he became in his education. As I grew and with the death of my father, I lost contact with Dave and his parents. I'm saddened the memories have resurfaced in this way.

Again, my sympathy to all of you, though I never met you. I just felt a desire to share my thoughts with you. I offer my prayers and best wishes to you in your future lives. God Bless you Cindy and Ian.

Dave was a friend and I was his manager in Owego including the period of time when he was pursuing his PhD. I have fond memories of him and my condolences and prayers are with you, Cindy and Ian. Ian was very young when I knew him, but Dave was very proud of him. I was also a high school classmate of Cindy's father.
