I will miss my annual bear Christmas card from Dave but will continue to think of him every time I drive past the entrance into his neighborhood in Oklahoma City. Rest in peace dear friend.
Thank you. David always took a lot of time in picking out just the right Bear Christmas cards. I told him they were always nice and well worth his effort. I miss him very much; he was a great brother. Joan
Dave was a good friend to many of us at Wilson Foods / Foodbrands. He will be missed.
I was saddened to hear about Dave’s passing. Dave and I worked closely together for a numbers of years in both Oklahoma City and in Hutchinson Kansas.
During most of those years, Dave reported directly to me. He was responsible for closing the corporate general ledger and for consolidating the financial statements of the Company. It was a critically important job for the company.
Dave was very professional and always did an excellent job. I relied heavily on his expertise and he made everyone in our accounting organization look good. Rest in peace, Dave.
Fond memories of chorus and band practices as well as class room antics. We will miss David at our class reunion next year.
