  3. Carol, children & Family,
    I was devastated upon hearing of Dave’s passing. Dave was a most honorable man, a great business partner, and most of all a dear friend. Although I had not talked to Dave since I retired 4 years ago, I knew that if I ever called him, it would be like I had talked to him yesterday, that’s how comfortable I was with him. I always looked forward to playing golf with Dave when I came to town for a market visit, weather permitting! I was always amazed how many chicken wings Dave could consume when we went to dinner or stopped for a cold one after business hours!! May God Rest his beautiful soul, and give you all strength in the days ahead.

  11. I am stunned by Dave’s sudden death. Carol you and your family are in my thoughts and Prayers. I wish I could attend the wake to see you in person but that is not possible for me during this COVID-19 pandemic. To all of the Klipsch Family I have known since my days at Vianney I am also praying for you. Hope to see you soon to share a hug. Dave had so many lifelong friends I also want to send my condolences.

  13. Klipsch Family – We hope that, even after having just been hit with this terrible loss, you can find some comfort in knowing that you had in your life a wonderful husband, dad, brother and brother-in law and uncle you could have ever hoped for. Whenever anything in the neighborhood or church was being accomplished Dave was hard at work. We believe the test of a real man is whether he is gentle and kind. Dave passed that test daily and in all aspects of his life.
    May you find comfort in all your wonderful memories.

  15. Eric …

    Love is immortality. Love is one. Love is the whole. Love is an endless sea that you fall into. And once you fall into it, you can’t fall out.

    All that we love deeply becomes a part of us. Your Brother David is gone from your sight, but never from your hearts. May the cherished memories of David, and the love of family, surround you at this time and give you strength in the days ahead.

    Our thoughts and prayers are with you to assuage the grief of your family – BUT Grief never ends .. it changes .. it’s a passage, not a place to stay. Grief is not a sign of weakness, nor a lack of Faith – It’s the price of Love ….

    Eric, may the memory of your Brother be eternal.
