Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Debra, I don’t often see the obituaries but somehow, I happened to read the paper at the right time. I had heard Dave had been sick but just couldn’t quite comprehend it when I saw his name and picture. I can relate to what you are feeling now and wish I could help. However, I know that nothing and nobody will take his place. Time does help and heal but the memories will last forever. We can believe that Dave and Duane are both kicking back and having a cold one and really enjoying heaven! Please let me know if you ever want to get together. I wish you the best in this, the worst of times.
Debbie I was saddened to hear of Daves passing. As you know Dave and I worked together for quite a few years and I would not be where I am today with out his friendship and knowledge. I am passing on that experience to others for I am an automotive instructor at North High in Wichita. I am sorry that I can not be there to pay my respects but I will be there in spirit and prayer. Robert (Bob) & Janice Allen
Words cannot express how deep our grief is at the loss of our dear friend and neighbor. Dave was a kind, caring and supportive friend who would always offer a helping hand. His devotion to friends and family is one of our most special memories. Our entire family will miss his presence. Debbie & entire Scobee family, know that our prayers are for you.
One of the nicest guys ever to walk the Earth. Dave’s kindness and gentle manner will be sorely missed. He was the kind of friend that does not come along very often.
Denise and Family, I am so sorry for your loss. May God Bless you and give you peace in your time of sorrow.
