  11. Well, it’s hard to put into words the emotions I am experiencing at the loss of a cool dude and the greatest uncle Skip that ever walked the planet! A good heart. A wee bit wild streak with a splash of hell raising on the rocks. Uncompromisingly a good time when we gathered at family occasions. Laughter and debate. How bout that laugh? Love you Uncle Skip! I leave you with twelve words that seem appropriate and underline your purpose. “If you wanna get to Heaven, you gotta raise a little hell.” You did both Skip!

  15. Tettamble Family, I am sorry for your loss. Dave will be missed greatly by his law enforcement family. He was a great friend, colleague, and mentor. We don’t laugh as hard since he retired as nobody can tell a story like he did.

  19. Dave,
    My treasured friend and coworker since his early arrival to the DEA office in Clayton, while still working with Mo National Guard. Wow, I miss his laughter and his hilarious pranks with Duke and McGuire, and let’s not forget Stolte and Cigich. Dave never met a stranger and would go to bat for you in times of trouble. Such a fun loving person and such a great family man. He loved his family.
    What an amazing and honorary friend. Rest In Peace my friend. You’re never forgotten and you’re sorely missed. My sincere condolences to Joyce and the entire family.

    Be Blessed

  25. Tettamble family. I can’t imagine the sadness you are experiencing. So sorry. “Ole Dave” was the man. He was so much fun to work with, never a dull moment. When he had an opinion or idea on a case we were digging into there was no changing his mind. When I told him, “Dave you give a woodpecker a headache, he would laugh his —- off”.
    So many sincerely good memories with that man.
