Condolences to Dave's family. I remember Dave as an upperclassman and athlete at MHHS. For obvious reasons we called each other "brothers".

Remembrances of his stories and jokes; with a foot on the brass rail, a pint of Old Speckled Hen in hand, talking of politics, history, and books. Looking forward to the next day at the tradeshow. That's how I'll always remember Dave.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this difficult time.

Our deepest sympathies go out to all of Dave's loved ones. We cherish the wonderful memories of Dave, as a classmate, teammate, and true friend.

We knew Dave in business for many years. A true gentlemen, a kind soul who always put a smile on my face. He made friends with everyone and gave of himself .  He will be dearly missed.
Our condolences to your family in this difficult time.
Lynn and Paul Walborn

I worked with Dave for a number of years and always enjoyed our encounters which invariably began with his latest joke.  A shrewd, hard-working entrepeneur, he taught me a lot about international business.  Sayonara, Dave.

I was very blessed to know and spend time with Dave. He helped and guided me in becoming a grandfather. He made anywhere is was a brighter place to be! Dave will always have a special place in my heart. My thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time.

loss.

 So happy I knew Dave.  We had so much fun in high school, including the black eye I gave him.  My prayers are with you, Elly.  You made him so happy!!

Eleanor and family, Dave held a very special place in my heart.  I will miss his sense of humor, good will and of course his charm.  I loved the way he doted on you Eleanor.  Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers and I am here for you as a friend and if you need anything, please let me know.  Cindy Yourtz FFG Retirement Counseling.

The Chandler family, Words will never describe how grateful I am today for what Dave has done for me in life and in business.  He saw something in me that I didn't.  I will forever be grateful.  This family is wonderful and very close to my heart. Let the healing begin.  You are in my thoughts.

I wanted to give my families deepest condolences. Dave worked with my mother at Coos years ago and my brother and Matt were best friends in high school and remained feiends until his death. It was great to hear about what a wonderful life and family he had. He had the best sense of humor which Matt carries on.

My heartfelt condolences to the entire family.  I was so saddened to see this.  Going through the photos brought back a lot of memories and the wonderful life we had on Locust Place.  I will not be able to attend the services, but my thoughts and prayers are with you in this difficult time.  God Bless, Cheryl

I am going to miss all of our debates and philosophic  and political discussions via email. I will always remember that Dave and I grew up on the same block as part of the first families to populate Thornton...but most of all..that Dave caught my first and only touchdown pass on a fake punk against Fairview HS.  Man he was a swizzle hipped runner and a tremendous competitor.  I will miss him so much Eleanor...you take care.

We were so blessed to have Dave be a part of our lives.  From the start he always made us feel like family and his knowledge and wisdom were a precious gift.  I will miss his jokes and stories an kindness and compassion more than I can express here.  All of my love and sympathies go out to Eleanor, little Matt, big Matt and Tony and all of the grandchildren and family.

To the entire Chandler family, our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.  Dave will be missed by many, but the good memories are with you for a lifetime.  Mike & Skeeter Wilson.

To Eleanor and family of Dave Chandler, I wish to express my deepest sympathies.  We were classmates back in 1961 but never kept in touch except at high school reunions.  I have a lot of memories though.  I'll always remember Dave as a cordial person, great student leader and athlete.  Being a 'jock' (and a good student) he was always a nice guy to the rest of us.  His likeable and outgoing personality shined at our class reunions.  Without a doubt, all of us will miss seeing him at future functions and I'm sure this planet will not be the same without him.

He sounds like a wonderful person! I am sorry for your loss.  Glen

Sorry to the entire family on the loss of Dave.
I worked for Dave for quite a few years.  He was a wonderful boss who always had a keen business sense.  He taught me a lot!
I will miss his humor and warm smile!

We send our thoughts and prayers and deepest sympathies to all family and friends of Dave. He will be dearly missed by all that he touched while on this earth for too short a time.

"Cuz", may your path to your Father's home be well lit.  You were on this earth for too short a time, but we will be together in His home for eternity.  I will see you on the other side.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you
at this time of loss.  Dave was a wonderful person and a joy to be around.
He will be missed at all the family gatherings. Please let us know if there is anything we can do.  We love you and of course all your family.
With deepest sympathy, Rob & Sharon

Jon and family: So sorry to hear about the loss of your brother. I lost my sister from cancer and the loss of a sibling is undescribable.  God bless....

My memories of Dave go way back when Hellen would let me wrap Dave and Jons Christmas gifts, did it for years, His family are in our prayers "RIP"

I went to High School with Dave and enjoyed quite a few reunions with he and Eleanor.  He was a special guy and even though we didn't see each other for years at a time he was always so warm and fun.  It seemed as though the years just melted away when we talked.  He was a thoughtful and loving man and I'm glad I knew him.  My thoughts and prayers are with you all.  

Judy Seaverns Mealey

I had the opportunity to play football and basketball with Dave at Meritt Hutton in Thornton, and got to know him very well. He was a very talented athlete, a great person and teammate. His competitive spirit, drive and compassion will always be remembered. Bob & Kathie Spurlock (Fullerton, CA)

We are so sorry for the loss of your loved one. May he live forever in your hearts.
Jeanette and Ed Esquibel

Dave, it was such a treat to know you and go to school with you. I will always remember how you gave me big hugs at the reunions. You were such a great athlete.  I have all the pictures of you and my brother and all the other guys that played sports with you. You will be missed and thank you for being a friend. 
My condolences go out to your family and may you rest in piece
