Dear Betty and family,
I noted the announcement of David’s death in today’s AZ Republic. I wanted you to know how much I enjoyed our relationship with David in caring for his babies while associated with Northwest Clinic for Children. His obstetric skills were only exceeded by his jovial personality and caring attitude towards his mothers and medical peers. May the curing powers of time heal the wounds of his absence. God bless you,
Phillip (Butch) Schultz
Our deepest sympathies from Chicago. Our hearts go out to you in your time of sorrow. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. We just talked with Betty and Dave around Christmas, and with Betty around Easter. When Mom and Dad were still with us, I always tried to hook them up on a conference line with Helen and Ben, and Dave and Lorry. I remember vividly the days that Mom & Dad helped Helen and Ben pack dishes for the move to Phoenix. I remember visiting Phoenix in the early ’50’s to see Helen, Ben, Dave & Lorry. Dave spent an awful lot of time with Mom & Dad back here in Chicago when he was in school. Mom & Dad helped him with the baby furniture and the things for their apartment. I remember Ben’s drug store right across the street from Dad’s gas station. I remember Lorraine coming to visit Mom & Dad for almost a month during the summer one year. Dave was working the railroads in the refrigerated cars. I remember grandma and grandpa Cauble and Grandpa would come by himself to Chicago and spend time with Mom & Dad talking. I remember Grandpa traveling a hundred miles an hour some days. I remember when Mark was born. I made several trips to visit in Phoenix, and the trip I took Mom to see the family after Dad died. I’ll see if I can find some of the pictures from those visits and post them on the legacy.com site. I already posted some old pictures I found of Ben & Helen with Dave and Lorraine, and Dave & Betty’s wedding picture.

I am so very sad to hear of Dave’s passing. He was such a delightful person, always smiling & happy.
My son, (delivered by Dr. Cauble), sent me the notice. He is a Brophy grad.
My love to Betty and the rest of the family.
