Jeannie,

So sorry to lean of your loss. David and you are among the brightest lights who served as beacons for the 928 community as a small group of people in the US and around the world sought to bring the respect to the model that it deserved. In that pursuit, a lot of them (us) also became friends as a result of the Sharks at the Lake/in the Mountains that you and David hosted. My forever thanks to you and David for what you did for 'us'.

May David rest in peace, and may you be comforted by all he and you accomplished together. I'm sure your love and care for him over the duration of his illness extended his ability to stay with you and 'us'.

God bless,

Gary

Jeannie, words escape me, this is a loss to so many. Dave brought so much to the 928 community and will be deeply missed. I have moved on from the 928, but as I've said many times I will never move on from the 928 community, and it was you and Dave that help make it so special to so many of us. RIP my friend.

Jeannie, my sincerest condolences from myself and all of us 928buckeyelandshark owners. You two were my entry point into 928s and the community at large. I've been fortunate to attend several SITMS over the past 20 years where you guys put on some fantastic events. You were always fun, patient, kind, generous and helpful. Prayers and thoughts to you and your family.

Unfortunately, I will not be able attend SITM this year due to my son's graduation but I will be thinking of you guys for sure.

All the best,
Brad

Jeannie,
So sorry for your loss. I am so glad that I was able to share the 2021 SITM with you both.
You and Dave have cultivated a large and loving family here to help see you through.

Jeannie, so sorry to hear about David.

Sharks in the Mountains was my first group event after getting a 928 and you guys made me and JP (and George) feel like we'd been part of the 928 family forever. It was really that first get together and experience that was the catalyst for us getting more engaged in the community and making it to SITM every year and more 928 events, and building some lifelong friendships centered around these cars.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and looking forward to seeing you in June.

Jeannie,

I'm very sorry to read this news. I haven't been very active in the 928 community in the last 10 years, but I always loved dealing with you and DR. He was a legend and innovator for sure and help me keep my 86.5 running strong for 20 years.

Sorry for you loss.

Ben Burris
