I worked with Dave everyday, im sorry to the family for their loss, Dave was a great person, and someone i could talk to everyday. I was not able to attend Daves funeral, my condolences to his family.

Jo and family, You are in our thoughts and prayers. Mom just told me and too late to see you at visitation. Remember and talk about the good times; laugh together, cry together and share thoughts. He was so young; one never knows what tomorrow will bring. We must live life to the fullest.

Sincerely, Rick and Maxine Mabeus

Dave and I have been friends since junior high, I moved to the Seattle area in 1976, over the years we kept in touch whenever I returned to Iowa City. Last February I contacted Dave and we got together remembering old times. Riding motorcycles together,camping being high school buddies. He was a good guy and a good friend, he will be dearly missed.RUtHQ

Please accept my condolences, Dave was a great guy and always will to help out others. I didn't often see Dave after he left the PD, but if I did we always took the opportunity to catch up. I hope you and your family are doing well. If you need anything please don't hesitate to ask.

Jo and Family,

To Dave's Family --

Jo and Kids--

How we loved to see Dave driving by our home-- arm out the window, sunglasses on, the dog in the back of his truck.-- He would always have time to stop and say hello, share his smile, inquire about the kids, have a good laugh. and exchange some sort of wise wisdom regarding current events; whether local or in Washington D.C. We always enjoyed our visits!

How we will miss him--

Love and Prayers--

Jo, Lauryn, and Sydney, I was shocked to hear of Dave's sudden passing.

When I was the girls' first grade teacher, Dave was a very proud father.

He was very proud of his family.

I am now retired, but know that you are a family I remember fondly.

You are in my thoughts and prayers.

To the Farnsworth family, sorry to hear of Dave's passing. He made it easy to be a friend. We will miss the good times in Elkader with the Reece's. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

May prayers are with you. I love you Jo and I'm thinking of you and your family at this very sad loss in your young life.

Dave was the person that no matter who you were... he walked up and spoke to you...a good hearted spirit...an orney soul...a friend. Years have passed since we last saw him, but a special spot is in our hearts for Dave.

Thoughts and warmest hugs surround his family and friends at this time and always.

Tim says: Dave was easy to talk to, always supportive and actually cared how you were doing. Always for the underdog, non-judgmental. There was only one Dave, he's irreplaceable.

Jo, I am so very sorry to hear of this sad news. I did not know him, but knowing you, I cannot fathom the loss. The kids must be devastated also. I will be praying for all of you. My sister, Naomi let me know.

I am devastated. Dave was a good friend for more than a quarter of a century. He and I loved to chat and BS together. I am at a loss to say how much I shall miss him.

So sorry to hear of Dave's passing. Fond memories of Robert Lucas days and junior high and high school.

I'm so sorry to hear about this. Dave was a really good guy. I hadn't seen him since I was 19 years old. We used to ride motorcycles together.

Jo and family , This is such a shocker. Larry and I are so grateful to have seen abd talked with Dave at Lauren and Andy's wedding. He looked the best I've ever seen him and I know he was enjoying the night. Please know you're in or thoughts and prayers.

Very sorry to hear of David's passing. He was a great guy and only good memories of my association with him.My condolences and sympathy to Jo and the family.

Our condolences to Dave's family. We met Dave many years ago through a mutual acquaintance, and became friends. We shared a common background as Police Officers, the enjoyment of snowmobiling on a trip to Wisconsin, motorcycle riding,and the same birthdate, just a year apart. He was a most interesting guy, and will be missed by all who knew him.

My sincere condolences to Dave's family. This certainly took me by surprise! I haven't seen ol Farny in many years but remember many laughs we had together. I also remember well our b***h sessions we had together during football and baseball practices. He added a smile no matter what the circumstances. RIP Farny. You'll be missed.

So sorry to hear of Dave's sudden passing, he was a good man and I alway's had great respect for him. He came from good bloodline's and passed that on.

RIP Rick
