Many memories of Dave starting in 5th grade. Swimming in the Arkansas River and Lake Minnequa and just hanging out. I’m sorry I didn’t play more golf with Dave in our later years, however the times we did play, it was like old times. I do remember Dave on his birthday since he shared the same day as my younger brother. Kristin , thank you for putting Dave on a positive and enlightened path. He shared with me how thankful he was of that. I won’t be able to attend his ceremonial service but I’ll be there in spirit.
God bless you David John Davis, your old friend Tony (TG) Geonetta
Thank you for adding your remembrances of David here but means so much! Kris
Kristin & Family: Thinking of you all and our David John. So many memories dating back to childhood…sports, the laughter, the trouble we got into lol! He was definitely one of a kind. And special thanks to you Kristin for saving a man, as the Doobie Brothers song goes, “whose soul was in need.”
Thanks, John! I think both of us together steered us to the path of salvation. I so appreciate you putting down your thoughts here. Means the world! Kris
RIP 🙏🏻
Omg Dave. I was shocked to learn of your passing. I haven’t had any contact with you since our chance meeting at Holiday Inn bar in the 70s. You were my first love. I was hoping when I saw your obit that it wasn’t you. Broke my heart to read this. I will always remember your good looks and charm. We had so much fun together. I wish you eternal peace and will pray for your family.
