I worked with Dave, in fact, started my first teaching job along with him at Denver, IA in 1970. He was a gentle soul and will be missed. My sympathy to his wife and family.
Dave was my good friend and bridge partner for many years. I have so very many fond memories of him and the good times we shared together over the years. Rest in peace Dave you will be sorely missed.
Mr. Boland had a kind soul and a love of music that he was happy to share. He gave so much to his students. I will always remember his open and generous heart. I had a terrible voice, but so enjoyed music and so wanted to sing. Mr.Boland always made room for me in the choir, despite my limitations. . Thank you Mr. Borland. I wish I had told you you were so great when I was in Junior High. May you Rest In Peace.
