The sorrow we feel within our hearts for the loss of someone dear should pale in comparison to the joy we feel for having known and loved someone as special as David. It has been a time since I last saw him but my memories are fond and loving and although truly sorrowed by his passing, I'm comforted by the fact that there are others who've passed before him that will have helped his journey. We will grieve and shed our tears for our loss but know that we'll all meet again. You are all in my prayers and thoughts. My love and sincere sorrow, Marji

Dave was a great guy. My son Jason truly found a great friend in Dave. He came to our house to help us install a huge window and would have come back to help us anytime if needed. I will always remember my dance at Jason's wedding with Dave and how he told me how much his family meant to him and was happy he had made such a good friend in Jason. Miss you Dave.

Well buddy it's been about a week now and all the times we spent together have been replaying in my head. Target practice in the backyard. Then when we got too lazy to go out side we set the targets up in the shop. Camping in our own front yard. Cooking on the grill 364 days a year. The Brinkman got a break on Christmas. Gilligans Island with the tiki torches. We talked alot after I moved out but now looking back it, i wish it was more. You agreed to be my Best Man, something way out of your comfort zone. That meant the world to me. I am very proud of you for that especially since you stood up in front of 150 people and gave a kick ass speach. Thank you Dave for all the things you taught me. Most of my cooking skills come from you. Olive oil, salt, pepper and onion powder it's all you need. Then there's day I found out Kelly was moving away and you came home to me sitting in the driveway. a complete mess. You picked me up, brushed me off and helped me get through it. There is so much more to say but I can hear you telling me to shut the hell up already. Nobody came to visit you they always "rolled up". I'm rollin up 1 last time tommorow I know you'll be there with us. Love ya bro.

The first time I met David I was probably three years old, He was sitting on the couch and Debbie was playing with his long hair. I preceeded to tell him that "he ate puppy chow!" He laughed and tried very hard to befriend me. When Lyn and David moved to West Orange I remember David always playing the guitar and singing, and if we were really good he and lyn would take us to feed the deer and ducks. When I was about 10 or 11 I decided I wanted to learn how to play guitar, David having the patience of a saint said he would teach me, knowing I had the attention span of a flea. later in high school we would talk for hours about woodshop and cars,and darts on the holidays. He was a really cool guy to hang out with! one of the most sincere, loyal, and loving to all who had the pleasure to know him. He will be forever missed

Uncle Dave – Whom am I kidding, I have not called you that in years. You have been more than just my uncle. You have been a great friend and I thank you for that. I thank you for all you did for me over years, especially the last 10. While consuming a few beers, I enjoyed the opportunity to really get to know you. I know why everyone who ever met you thinks the world of you. You always offered to help anyone you could, definitely a Lauterbach trait. Of course, you did have your priorities – you could help as long as it did not interrupt your routines between laundry, NASCAR, Jim Beam time, etc.
I know how proud you were of your children and the people they have become. Thank you for making me a better person and reinforcing all of the things my father taught me as well. I guess it makes sense since he was your father figure growing up which was probably our other bond.
I will miss our talks and projects. I know you are at peace and that is somewhat comforting but I will miss you a lot. May your beer always be cold, you never run out of propane, your guitar always be in tune, your saw never be dull, # 7 wins the big race, and God hold you in the palm of his hands!

I worked with your dad at Adam Metal Products for the past 7 years and I got to tell you both that there was not a day went by when he didn't talk about one of you. He was very proud of both of you and I feel like I know you both even though I never meet either of you. Your father was a good soul and a great employee. Everybody here at Adam Metal will miss him greatly especially me... he was always one I can count on no matter what the situation was (personal or work related). I know he will be up there looking down on all of us especially the both of you.
My deepest sympathy for you and your entire family...

Uncle David,
You were one of the nicest, funniest guys I have ever came acrossed and we were blessed with you in our family! Over the past couple days I have heard some great stories about you and the best part about it, anyone that talks about you has nothing but GREAT things to say!! you obviously touched the heart of many and you should be very proud of that!!
Jesse and Missy-
I cant even imagine what it feels like to lose a parent!!! The heartache must be unbearable!! The best thing you can do is never forget all the great things your father brought to your lives!! He died way too early but at least he got to meet all of your adorable children...one of the best gifts to give your parents in life is grandchildren!! Eli and Sid will carry on the Lauterbach name for him, Chase will be the only princess, and Talon may be the next jock/rockstar!!! You should be very proud of yourselves because you know your father was!!
Cherish every memory you have of your dad and keep his soul alive!!!
Love
Kimmy

David,
I can’t believe this is really true! Where do I begin? I was only thirteen when you came into my life. My sister was dating the HIPPIE next door...who winded up being my brother in law, big brother and father to my niece and nephew!!! We went down so many roads together good and bad and no matter how many times I yelled at you, you always put a big smile on your face and said I LOVE YOU!!
I remember when Jesse was born and you started crying so proud and you looked at me and said CAN I DO THIS???? My answer was YES!! You were one of the most loving fathers! Your kids were very lucky to have you as a father! You never thought you were good enough but I truly believe you were one of the best men I have ever known!! You never had a bad word to say about anyone!! Ok David I will shut up now, (like you probably would tell me to :)) and always remember you were always one of my favorites!
P.S You know I will always be there for your children no matter what they need !!I love them like they were one of mine, and we will keep on sharing our stories forever about you!!!!
Jesse and Missy-
I will always be here for the both of you if you should ever need anything!!! I think of you both as one of my own children. I know this must be an extremely hard time for you but all I can say is that your father was and always be VERY PROUD of the BOTH of you!! He will always look over you and your children!!
Lynn-
I know how much you loved David and always will!! I will never forget the GOOD TIMES we all had together :) and you know David will NEVER stop loving you!!! I will always be here for you sis!!!
Love,
Cheryl

Whew, I don’t know where to begin.
The man that all my brothers and sisters thought was an older brother. We grew up together.
I remember being 16 like it was yesterday, my neighbor's brother, almost ran me over on the way back from the pool. He was a handsome guy in an MG with a big peace sign on the front. I was immediately drawn to this guy that I remembered from the time we went to see the Beatles Movie in the back of Neal Ann’s Volkswagen. I was 15 and shivering because I was sitting in between these two handsome brothers. I developed my crush on David and never said anything to Neal Ann.
In the following years involved long talks at NealAnn and Bill’s house, you going in the navy, me going to college, the Free University, Artist Colonies, Bands, the Politics, the War in Viet Nam. Then Cars and many, many wonderful people that you brought home like a Pied Piper because everyone loved you that met you.
It was exciting when you joined Joey in his band years latter. It was like seeing two brothers making music together.
Our brothers and sisters were always there for us and I never called them to tell them how much their support meant to us.
Loren, Lorraine, Cheryl, Jackie, Lyle, Oscar, Joey, My Mom, Your Mom, my Nana, the Twins, you are in all the memories of my family and yours.
Loren and Brian took care of you when I left for Maryland. I need to Thank them.
Berliss Bearing, Jemmco, Margie, Walter, you working with the other craftsman, Uncle Eddie in the Chalet.
You and Russ Guliano doing the equipment for Jesse’s Football Teams.
I looked at a picture of you coming home from Berliss Bearing on my birthday in 1978 and I thought, did I ever thank David for how hard he worked for our family?
I wanted different things in life and you knew that, thank you for accepting that and still loving me.
After raising our two incredible children, we grew apart but never out of love with each other. Thank You for always asking the kids about how I was doing.
You were the kind, honest, sincere, creative man that just had no idea of how special you were, but you always knew that we all loved you and always, always will!
Thank you for giving me my loving, incredible, sincere and wonderful children and grandchildren. They love you so much. I am so proud of what great parents they are and I know you were also.Be at peace, and as you always told me, “You did good…”

Hola Da, I miss you!
I keep picking-up the phone to call you. I must have done it a dozen times over the last few days. I want you to know that I love you, always have and always will. We have had our rough times throughout the years but my love for you never faltered and I always knew you felt the same.
You made me who I am today...good and bad, right! It's just like Mom always said, "Missy, your just like your Father". You gave me my passion for art and music. You never considered yourself an artist but I always did. You taught me about woodworking and you were always so proud of the fact that you could buy your daughter tools for Christmas, and I loved them! You gave me my love and respect for nature and animals. Some of my fondest memories are when you and I would watch the wild turkeys in your front yard and we would gabble back and forth with them. Camping with the wild ponies on Assateague Island and hiking up to Sunfish pond on the Appellation Trail. I was so proud of myself when I got to the point, in my career as a naturalist, that I could teach you about nature. I loved the look on your face the first time I handed you and live owl to hold. Priceless! The thing that you taught me that I treasure the most is to love with my whole heart. It has gotten us both into some trouble over the years and it has also caused us alot of pain but the benefits far outweigh the negative. The love that you have given me throughout my life is enough for 10 people and I will always carry that with me. So for all these things and much much more, I thank you Daddy.

David,
I hope you are looking down smiling on the impact(s)you have have made in so many lives. I want to thank you for raising the son that you did. Jesse has told me all the stories about how the two of you got to being the BEST friends that you were. Jesse would plan several hours in advance and announce "tonight...I want to call my dad." Which was always several times a week. I was always trying to keep the kids quiet in the background (which I failed miserably, most of the time)while you two talked. However, as you know I was normally laughing as I listened to your conversations. David, you and Jesse talked about EVERYTHING!!! You were the most AMAZING listener. I know you'll continue to listen as your son continues to talk to you.
Jesse always strived to make you proud, and David, you were the one always lighting the fire under him. We had plans to celebrate in 5 short weeks Jesse's MBA graduation. He has worked so hard for it. Jesse so wanted to make that call and tell you "I DID IT DAD!!!"
Eli and Sidney LOVED you. You used to laugh and tell me you weren't a baby person meanwhile my kids crawled on top of you (I have the pictures to cherish). Most importantly, my children have the most amazing father, because of you. You taught your son to love unconditionally, and for that my babies are so lucky.
At 58, you were much to young to leave us, but in 58 short years you touched the lives of so many, for that we must all be grateful.
I don't have to tell you how much I love your son, you knew that. I just want you to know that will never change. I'm here to help him through this difficult time, and most importantly to keep your memory alive for the next generation of Lauterbach's...Eli and Sidney.
Love,
Becky

Missing you Uncle David is going to be a tough thing to do - but at the same time, it allows us to reflect on not only the memories we have but the reasons why we miss you.
One thing that really sticks out in my head, as I'm sure it does across the family, is his love for the American auto. In fact, this love ran so deep that Uncle David remided me of it at EVERY family party with a simple question.... "When the hell are you gonna get rid of all this imports!?" Although he didnt agree with my choices, the conversation that stemmed from our differences was always interesting and enjoyable.
Wouldn't you know the expression of delight on his face was bordering 'proud' when i showed him a few years ago that i finally came over from the 'dark side' and purchased a Jeep. The conversations only got better from there - at every get-together we would talk cars and he even put me onto some ideas.
Uncle David made a switch of his own - a drastic switch - from BUSCH to YINGLING - what a revelation....good beer! He heard it for the Busch for so long that it was with open arms that we all loved this switch.
These are just two of many memories i have of you Uncle David - and i hope you know that you will genuinely be missed by all of us. We know that at this time is important not only to reflect on the fact that you're gone, but on the idea that we all got to spend as much time as we did together.
I will never forget, only remember, the funny and caring man you always were.
Love,
Philip

David,
I, too, am speechless (which has only happened on a few occasions). Only two weeks ago we saw you at our house; you looked good and you were so talkative and happy.
As you did all your life, you did this "your way" - quietly and, hopefully, peacefully.
As one of your siblings that "drove you crazy" with her phone calls, invitations and cards, I want you to know how much I ALREADY miss you! I can't imagine our get-togethers without you; we always had someone to pick on! I hope that you know that it was done out of love for you.
We all hated that you always wanted to be alone - I guess we just didn't understand it - but we tried to respect your privacy.
We hope that as you're looking down with Mommy, Neal Ann and Ellen at your side, you give the rest of us strength to move on.
We will love you ALWAYS and FOREVER!
Love,
Jackie, Walter, Philip & David

Dad,
I am pretty much at a loss for words right now, but I wanted to say something to you (hopefully you can read this in some way). I know you would have hated this but the past few days we have all talked about you quite a bit. We have laughed, and we have also cried quite a bit. The first 18 years of my life we had a pretty tough time with each other, for whatever reason we hardly ever saw eye to eye. The next 16 years were very different however, I was lucky enought to discover a true best friend.
You always pushed me to achieve more, and were my biggest fan/supporter on anything I choose to take on. Now I must look inside myself to find that strength that you always provided me, and use your memory as self motivation in life. I consider myself a very lucky man for this time, and could only be greedy and wish that there was more time for us to be together.
I honestly don't think that you ever truly knew how many peoples lives you touched, and the magnitude. You are a very special soul, that this world is really going to miss.
Thank you for teaching me how to be a father to my children, and even more importantly how to be a person.
I miss you,
Jesse
