    I'll always remember working with Dave and Glen at Jim's Texaco, what fun memories. And, the maroon 289 High Performance Falcon and how when Dave hit 4th gear the pumpkin would hit the bottom of the back seat and Dave would look out the corner of his eye and grin from ear to ear. (Glen you know what I mean, don't you) Bush family, Glen, I am truly sorry for your loss. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.

    Dear Susie, Katie and Carrie, I am so sorry to hear of Dave's passing. He was a wonderful man and so much fun to spend time with. He never had a bad thing to say. Always smiling and so good to you Susie. He was a devoted husband, father and friend. I will never forget our outings after the Big Red away games. All the laughs we had. How many times we got lost and somehow ended up where we wanted to be in the first place. He will be missed. Love Joni, Pat and Sassi too

    Dear Susie & Family, We were deeply saddened to learn of the passing of your husband Dave. An obituary can only highlight a small portion of one's life and his memory will live on in the hearts of those that loved and knew him. He has been a big part of many young lives growing up in Steubenville. His memory will live on forever in the hearts of those whose lives he has touched. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. May God Bless and comfort you and your family during this difficult time. May his Memory Be Eternal. Jerry and Mary Lynn & Nicholas Ricci

Please know that we are praying for your family and wishing that I could reach out and give all of you a hug! I know he will be sadly missed, but if anyone is walking with our Lord right now, it is Dave Bush! Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you walk through these difficult days.

    Dear Susie, Katie and Carrie, I was so shocked to hear about Dave's passing. I have such good memories of Dave, such a gentle, kind man. I will always remember him picking up Dan and Betsy for Sunday School and all the fun at Church Camp. The kids thought it was all for them, but our fellowship was something very special. He will be missed. Kathy Pavlik

    Mr. Bush was one of the reasons, all the years at Thomlinson Run I attended church camp, were some the best times of my life. The Bush family is in my prayers.

    I was so sorry to read David's obituary in the Herald Star. David and I went to school together from first grade until we graduated in 1966. My husband and sons moved back here in 1987 and I never ran into David. We were in Mrs. Baker's room in second grade and she would send us to do errands for her at the old McCoy's store where the carpet place is now. We walked there and had many conversations on the way. Please accept condolences from an "old" friend of his from way back. He always made me laugh! Sincerely, Terri (Clutter) Starkey
