    I want to say thank you to Dave for always being a friend and co-worker to my Dad. He was always so respectful and talked highly of my Dad. Dave was a great man and will hold a special spot for me because of his deep respect he had for my Dad. He showed up 5 years ago for my Dads 80th birthday party. The 2 of them enjoyed their time together and for that I say thank you Dave. Heaven has gained another great man!! My Condolences to the Repella Family. Sincerely Jason Bezak

    To all the Repella Family and Friends of Dave, you have my deepest condolences. I always saved a wheel chair handicap spot for Dave at Harding Stadium parking lot. He always purchased $50 of 50/50's and $50 of game ball tickets from me every Friday home football game. Dave and I are just about the same age Jan 7th and Jan 25, 1960. He was a great friend and an outstanding contributor to Big Red Football. He was so happy our Buckeyes finally won a National Championship with two blemishes.. so what! The L I rd just received a very good soul! I'll never forget you Dave, none of us will.
