I will always remember Dave telling me that he had been married for 61 years to the same woman, to the same woman. When his wife became unable to carry on a conversation, my phone calls were always to Dave Dailey. I will always remember pleasant memories of a very strong gentleman in my sister's life.

I am one of David's former Pastors and loved David very much. David was a dear friend, a devoted parishoner, and a true man of God. He had a quick wit and a great sense of humor. He was very generous, kind, and displayed great wisdom. I always enjoyed visiting with the entire Dailey family out on the farm. My prayers are with Darlene, Rod and Scott who I also love and miss a great deal. I regret that I will be unable to attend the services tomorrow. May God be with you all. Pastor Rich Whippler

David was a great man with strong faith. I visited him at the nursing home. We talked about the farm, our family relatives and of course the Lord. David always shared his belief. I appreciate those conversations. Such a strong, hard working faithful man. Prayers to Darlene and the boys.
