I was just 15 years of age when this tragedy occurred. It was senseless then and still is. I am only a civilian, never in law enforcement. I am paying my respects as I am slice today because of you and your partner or I would like to believe that. Thanks for your service and God Bless sleep well in heaven.

God Bless Rest In Peace

Dave you will never be forgotten. You are the reason I and many others became Delaware State Troopers. I will never forget your funeral procession on Dupont Rd. I was not on the job then but made up my mind then and there to be a police officer. Thank You for your sacrifice from one Elsmere brother to another.

Having went through DSP recruit training with both Ron and David, I was very fortunate to really get to know these gentlemen. It truly suddened me when they were both killed by these criminals and robbed of life on this earth. But I am sure that they are both in a better place waiting on their class to arrive.Until we meet again......
