    Dear Josh, Jeremy, and Derek~
    You have my deepest sympathy in the death of your dad. Losing a father is a tough loss, and I’m sorry you have to go through this painful grief. Your dad always seemed like a gruff guy, but he was always so kind to me and never forgot to wave when he went by our house on his way to your grandparents house. Sometimes he’s even tak the time to stop and BS a little…imagine that!! I hope all your memories, good and not so good, comfort you in your sadness and help you to become stronger men because of him and his guidance in your growing up years. Make him proud! Sending hugs and my sincere sympathy~ Jo Reck

    So sorry to hear about Dave he was a great friend and classmate to have in High school and had been able to visit with him only one time after high school when he delivered some gravel ( I believe) when making a cement pad for my mother in Hector. We both graduated in 1970 he was a great man. RIP

    I’m so sorry to hear about the passing of Dave. I knew Dave when I was going to Normandale College and his late brother Brian was my roommate. My heart goes out to Dave sons and siblings. He was always so kind when I would come to Buffalo Lake for the weekend. God has another Angel in Heaven. God Bless and RIP Dave.
