A bunch of kids grew up together in Pawling NY and have remained friends since the '50s.  I am one of those kids and so was Dave.  A lot of us have kept in touch all these years.  Although many of us have been scattered over the country, we have even gotten together at several planned reunions.  While I am sad that Dave is no longer here physically, I have to say that I also celebrate his life and as I do I smile.

Love you Dave,

Bobbie

I’m David’s grand daughter and one of my favorite memories was when he first came to live at my house I was showing him my drawings and it was a really sweet memory 

I just recently received notification that Dave had passed away.  Although I have moved away from Chattanooga, I remained in contact with him.  Our close friendship continued throughout his employment at Unum and after our mutual retirements.  There is much I could say about Dave and our experiences together but I will simply state that I am very sad at his passing.  He was a honorable and respected man and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to know him.  Our thoughts and prayers are with Dave’s family.


I was privileged to meet and work with Dave, he was such a good man - please accept my sympathy and prayers for family and friends.
  

I worked with Dave at Unum - such a nice man.  My sympathy to his family.  

Matt,

I just wanted to say that I will be praying for you and your family. I am so sorry for your loss. 

Hope Long

Matthew,

I extend my sincerest condolences to you and your family. I pray that the loving memories of your father will comfort your heart today and always.

1Peter 5:7  


Heartfelt love and sympathy to your family, Dave.  I was very  lucky to teach Matt  in 2nd grade, and Anna  in kindergarten  at O.L.P.H. You were truly an tremendous example of the dedication it takes to truly love God, your country, and your family.  Your family can be very, very proud of you.  May you Rest in Eternal Peace, my friend!

Matthew, I was so sorry to hear about the passing of your father.  I just want to share with you that what we once enjoyed and deeply loved we can never lose.  I really truly believe that because I feel that all of the love that we have for our love ones becomes a part of us when they pass on.  Again, Matthew I am deeply sorry and will keep you and your family in my prayers.  

Wishing peace to bring you and your family comfort, courage to face the days ahead, and joy as you reflect on the loving memories of your dad.

My deepest condolences and prayers to your family. Matt is my co-worker and he's amazing. Your family has my continued prayers in these difficult times. 

I am so sorry for your loss.  I can remember Mr. Rack helping out with Scouts when we were growing up and even the time he brought in his finger-printing kit which is one of the coolest things you can see as a kid.  His dry wit was always hilarious and he was always guiding us down the right path with his wisdom.  I have not seen him in over 25 years, but he will be remembered and missed.  I am sending prayers for him and the entire family.

Uncle Dave, you will be missed dearly. I will forever cherish memories of visiting your old house and playing basketball on the court by the garage and all those trips to the aquarium. I even have the 1996 Olympic FBI hat you gave me as a young boy. Rest easy. 

Love to your family. 

Uncle Dave, you will be missed. You were a true inspiration in my life. Your kindness, intelligence, and wisdom were greatly respected by all. I know you and Sondra are finally together and that warms my heart at the thought you two are watching over our family. 

I have known Dave since the early 80s when I subpoenaed to Rome to testify in a case of his. I was able to obtain a transfer to Chattanooga where I found myself working with Dave on several cases. He and I retired from the FBI and found ourselves working with Dave at 
Unum. I have never met a man as nice as he was but also as professional and successful as an FBI agent. Dave you were missed when you retired and will be missed more now. RIP my friend.



We never had the pleasure of meeting David, but we know Rachael.   Rachael is a loving, understanding and caring woman.  She has raised two beautiful children and is someone who thinks of others before herself.  We can only assume David would be so proud of the woman she has become and legacy he has in all his children and grandchildren.  We are sending prayers.  May God send peace and comfort for your family.
Pam, Jessica and Brandon Szymanski
