I'm so sorry to learn of David's death. He was always a very positive man with a sense of humor. He used to say you're out with the old dad tonight. I'm sure you gave him many years of fun and laughs. Susan Shemerdiak Kelly

David was a long time friend. I always enjoyed talking politics with him as he always followed campaigns and understood how government was a melting pot of conflicting ideas. He will be missed.

Nancy, I love the pictures that were put together on this site. What a great family you and David have. You used to tell me great stories about your family when I first started working in the convention department. It looks like the two of you got to spend some quality time together in your retirement. I am so sorry to hear of your loss, my thoughts are with you, God Bless.

David was always so very kind to the Brunvand family as we for many years enjoyed the Erickson's as our South Haven neighbors. Thanks for including a photo of David on the South Haven pier in the commemorative video. Also thanks for including a photo of David's mother, Harriet. Our prayers go out to David's family not only from our family but from the Terrace Park Association members.
