One this, the one year anniversary of Dave's passing, I pose a toast, look to the heavens and dedicate this day to Dave's memory.##imported-begin##Kurt Bunge##imported-end##
Grandpa Dave, it still hasn't sunk in that you are truly gone forever. When I had finally heard of your passing I was three or four months pregnant with my daughter. And all I could think about it that she will never have the chance to meet her amazing great grandfather. I am always thinking of you. I have your picture on my phone. I have surrounded myself and Amelia with your favorite animal in hopes that you are always with us in spirit. I srill remember all the laughs we shared and how every moment we all got to spend with you was special. I still have the letter you wrote me on my eighteenth birthday and it makes me cry everytime I read it. It hurts that we didn't get to see you the last two years of your life but I know you still had my baby picture in your wallet so I know you still thought of me. I hope you are looking down on us all and still proud of the woman I have become. You will always be missed Grandpa and always be in my heart. Can't wait for the day I get to reunit with you and get one of your amazing hugs. And when I do I will never let you go again. I love you##imported-begin##Destinee Roscoe##imported-end##

My deepest thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends. David & I shared 25 years together many, many very good times. What I will remember the most is the way he could brighten up a room. He could always bring a smile to my face or make laugh. David you will always be missed!!! RIPYOU WERE THE LOVE OF MY LIFE!!!##imported-begin##Bonita Bunge Jones##imported-end##
I want to thank each and every one of you for signing this guestbook. I check in from time to time to see who has signed it and what's been written. Your kind words have been very helpful for me personally as I continue to deal with this heartbreaking loss. I am so happy that each of you came to know Dave the same way I have known him. Dave and I shared many of the same issues in our lives both good and not so good, and we were always able to lean on each other and talk through the rough spots and celebrate the good things together. He was the eldest son in our family and I am the youngest, yet Dave and I always shared a very close bond. A special word of thanks to Melissa for sharing her thoughts. Melissa, Dave cared so much for you and Frank and your kids as well. I'll always remember the phone calls on Christmas - he so enjoyed spending them with you, Jesse and everyone else. I know it was such a special time for him. Sal, your words were very kind. It is true that Dave's word was a commitment and something you could rely on. Dave always spoke so highly of you over the years and he was fortunate to have someone like you in his life. Karen, Dave's final year and a half were made so much happier by him being reacquainted with you. He so enjoyed visiting with you back in Michigan in 2010 and he looked forward to each phone call. My thoughts are with each of you who signed this guestbook. It was very special having Dave here although it was only for a short time. My life is better because of him, my life means more because of him and my life is more full because of him. I've always felt this world needs more people like Dave and apparently I'm not alone in that thinking. Thank you all again. I may be contacted at [email protected] if you so desire.##imported-begin##Kurt Bunge##imported-end##
In times of uncertainty I am often reminded that there are now and have always been amongst us a certain breed of person that we can look to as the rock of our society. A man who goes about his life quietly setting the example for those around him if they will but take the time to notice. A man that will not lie, will not intentionally cause harm, believes that a thing worth doing is worth doing well. A man that strives to be the best at what he does, but holds that accomplishment with humility. Slow to anger, quick with a smile or laugh. Eager to help those around him due to a genuine goodness of spirit. Considers his word a commitment that can not be broken.A man that deeply loves his family and will go to the extreme to provide for and protect them, even though he suffer greatly to do so.I have known such men thoughout my life and it has been my honor to work side by side with one for the last 20 or so years. DAVE BUNGE.Now certainly the Dave I know would be surprised by all this attention and have a good laugh. A laugh you could recognize a mile away. So Dave, You will be missed greatly, You left before I could say a proper goodbye. But then again that was your way. You never were one to sit around. You always had something you wanted to get done.I'm sure there's an Angel somewhere scratching his head saying " Holy cow how did he get all that done in one day"Good Bye Old Friend PS To the family, Throughout the years Dave spoke from time to time of each of you. When he did his face always lit up with love and affection. I have no reservations in saying, clearly, he loves you all, deeply. Thank you for the kindness you have shown us his friends.##imported-begin##Sal Fusco##imported-end##
My heart is broken knowing that you are gone forever. It deeply saddens me that we had not spoken for some time and I don't even know the reason why and now I will never know. You were the only dad I really knew. I love you more than words can express. You took me and my brother on and cared for us to best of your ability and beyond. You gave us a great life and I only wish that I could have been there for you and told you all the things you deserved to hear. I love you##imported-begin##Melissa Edwards##imported-end##
When I moved next door to Dave when I was a Junior in HS, never did I guess that he would become my best friend. We ice skated and roller skated together. He reminded me of when I let him drive the car to the roller rink, because I was too nervous. We lost touch until a year and a half ago. Then we spoke for hours every Sunday. Eventually, we talked once a month or so until he got sick - then it was every other day. The world lost a funny, caring, wonderful man and I shall miss him terribly. Save me a place in heaven, Dave, and we'll skate some more.##imported-begin##Karen Vavrinek Brooks##imported-end##
Dave was such a good guy and even though I hadn't seen him in years, he will be missed. He lived with us for his senior year of high school. Rest in peace, Dave.##imported-begin##Bruce Vavrinek##imported-end##
