I am very sorry to hear of Dave’s passing. My sincere condolences to his family. I’ve known David for over forty years, went to school with his son Dan. In the mid 80’s I was in his store every Saturday and I still own the first rifle I ever bought from him back then. He was a customer of my business and a friend. A good man!

I am so sorry to hear of his passing. My sincere condolences to his family. I knew him as Coach Letts when I a played my first year of city league football way back in 1971. Our paths crossed again during the CB radio craze (1976-78). He always seemed to have a positive attitude and was willingly to help others. Thanks for the good memories Coach.

My heartfelt condolences to Dave’s family. I have fond memories of working for Dave and performing with his many orchestras. In fact, I owe much of my success as a professional musician to Dave. He had a way of gently pushing you toward your goals, even when you didn’t see that path yourself. He was an important mentor in my formative years. Thank you, Dave. You will be missed.
