We both miss David. I, Jerry, made him laugh till his eyes teared. Sometimes he'd need an extra handkerchief to wipe his eyes. I loved it when he had a 3 handkerchief laugh.

We were saddened to read of Dave's passing. He was a lovely man with a delightful sense of humor. We had interesting political discussions during the 60s and 70s, never changing each other's minds, but always ending with laughter. May he rest in peace alongside his beloved Dutch.

Maxine and I extend our deepest sympathy to the Prober family. We knew Dave & Dutch ( Dorothy ) when we lived in Dekalb in the mid to late 60's. I will always remember telling jokes and making Dave laugh so hard he had to pull out a handkerchief to wipe the tears from his eyes as he laughed so hard. May Dave's memory be for a blessing.
