Dear Frances and Family:
I am deeply saddened to hear of Dave's passing, my most sincere condolences to you at this dark time.
I'm also a member of the SHR&GC and have shot and swapped stories with Dave on many occasions, his company and camaraderie was truly something I treasured. His help and support of the club was something he gave freely and with genuine caring, it was greatly appreciated.
We are all better people for having known Dave and having him in our lives.
God's blessing's to you all and may the many good memories of Dave sustain you in this time of grief.

Dear Obrecht Family,
Even though I've only known Dave these past few years. I enjoyed the stories of his life experiences - from his college years, Northwestern, AON, the dealerships to his home in South Haven. It was a pleasure to shoot Sunday trap at the SHGC with him at our side. One Sunday last August Dave and I played a round of golf after shooting trap. No matter what I did I could not beat him. I'll always have fond memories of Dave and he will truly be missed. My deepest condolences. Mike Cucinella

Mary and I were saddened to learn of Dave's passing. We were in Phoenix visiting family when we got a call from Mary's sister.
I sat with Fran at Christmas eve mass at St Basils. We hadn't seen each other in months and we quietly visited a bit during the service.

I met Dave through golf. He was a marshall at Hawkshead at the time. We played golf regularly over the years as our schedules would permit. Dave was a patient golfer and never took it too seriously. He had a great sense of humor and our outings were very enjoyable. David Szarkowski, Chuck Krouse, and Jerry Globenski were frequently part of the group. I few drinks and needling always followed our outings.
Dave was a good friend and will be missed. My thoughts of our times that we spent together will include many good times.
