I was shocked to hear David had left us. Although we know he is in a much better place,
the hurt and the pain of losing someone close still remains. I know there is a comfort that God gives that unsurpasses any words to be spoken. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
I'll never forget that little VW bug that David drove - or the sleigh rides down our hill when we use to get snow. I think of all of you often - when I go to visit Mom and Dad.

To the Ross Family,
I was saddened when I found out that David passed away. One of his nephews, David Ostwinkle, told me of the passing. I was shocked! I remember him as always cheerful, despite having to answer a wrecker call at 3am. I enjoyed talking with him, as well as his presence. He will not be forgotten.

I was very saddened to hear about your families loss of David. Even though it has been almost 40 years since I last saw him, it seems like only yesterday. You and your children have always had a special place in my heart and memory.
