David was a great friend. I enjoyed the times of hunting and fishing with him. He was a person that I will never forget.

God can move mountains. Then Dave would say, "But you better bring a shovel to help."

We are very saddened to learn of the passing of David. We did not know that he was even ill. Though we did not live near him in these last years, we know that he will be sorely missed--he was a great "giant" of a man in love and kindness and compassion. May the many happy memories that you as a family have of him comfort you each day. In deepest sympathy, Gene and Vera Harrison

David was my father. And I am the youngest of his four kids. Although I live in Tennessee, I haven't been able to see him as much as I would like. Last August I was home and we had some good quality time together. And I will always cherish the memories. I'll miss you, Dad. And I will always love you,

My memories of Uncle Dave all have to do with laughter. Whenever we got together as a family, (unfortunately, not often enough), Uncle Dave's sense of humor and the way he could tell a story always had us laughing. We will miss you Uncle Dave!

I had not seen Cousin David for awhile and I regret I was unable to make the family visitation and services. Be assured my thoughts were with Marlene, the children, and other family and friends. I remember David as always having a smile on his face. One of my favorite memories of David is when he convinced Aunt Dora to get on his motorcycle for a spin.

David Hiser was my father also I was in the midllie of the 2 other girls. I have so many wonderful memories of my father that I chould never get them all down on paper. But if you ever heard him mention that he raised a tomboy then he whould be talking about me. I was always considered the girl that should of been the boy. Now at fortythree years old I don't regret that one bit. I would not have all these memories to go foward in my life with. The only regret I do have is that in the last 23 years I did not spend as much time with my dad as I whould of liked. He was very very muched loved and he will be missed. I love you dad your tomboy Donna.

I only heard of Dave's death too late to come North. He was a great friend and mentor over the last 29 years and I shall miss him greatly. Our hearts, Virginia and I, go out to Marlene and his family and to all those he guided over more than 30 years in Glenn, Pullman, Fennville and elsewhere.

One of the fondest memories of my childhood was Uncle Dave taking me fishing on my birthday (I was about 11). To this day, that is the biggest fish I have ever caught. He was loved and I will miss him.
