I drive for Uber in Melbourne.  Take quite a few passengers to airport that work for GE. I've mentioned David's name  and some knew him and spoke very highly of  him. Shows me what a humble guy he was. He never spoke of all his achievements. Missing  him

Just heard of your passing and my condolences to all the Teeter family and friends.   We met during high school at my parents Wishbone Chicken restaurant where there were some wonderful adventures.  Dave always had a helping heart including helping us move to our house along with Steve, Mike and Dick. I am certain you are keeping heaven lively and the world was a better place for your being here.  

The Teeter family will always be cherished in my heart which arose from long ago when our Dads became friends and classmates at Florida Southern and I later tagged along for family visits.  I remember David when he was little, and when my husband and I came south as "snowbirds" David was the first of the Teeter family we were able to see.  He was always willing to join us when we asked, which we didn't do enough, sadly.  We will always remember his smile and his love of life.

Alice, sending light and love to you and your sister, and all your family during this difficult time.

Dave was in my older brother's circle of friends growing up and I will always remember his winning smile and kind heart.  He was at my wedding, small as it was, and took photos and shot a video as a wedding present.  Dave, ever the Lancelot, drove back to my parent's house to retrieve the sash for my wedding dress as I threw tantrums in the church dressing room.  To this day, I think of him when I see those photos. 
As we moved on in life we corresponded only by Christmas card and only saw each other on rare occasions.  Last November I had the chance to see him before we left for New Zealand and continued to exchange texts after that sharing news and updates of our lives. He always made me smile.
I am blessed to have had him in my life and my condolences go out to all of his family.  Deb


David, I'm grateful to have known you during high school and cherish many fond memories of you during those years - one in particular. I regret not having stayed in touch afterwards.

My condolences go out to the Teeter family.

Dave, I already miss you buddy, brother.

My own death bothers me less, indeed, I could take it in stride, but what stride could encompass your passing? None that I am able to make. 

But I know that because you live on in me you also live on in your children, your family and your other friends. If there is anything we could all bear witnesses to is this: The star by which you set your moral compass always shown on the highroad. I am now counting on the you in me to follow the same star.

Vaya con Dios, Dave, my brother.  



Dear Dave,

Well, my Brother, I can't do justice to 52 years of friendship and adventures in just 2K words, while honoring your memory and not embarrassing either of us.  So we'll keep the really good parts just between us, shall we?

So many things for which I'm grateful to you: welcoming the new kid in the 9th grade, teaching me handball in the hot sun, how to drive a stick shift in the red Bug and how to water ski...the road trips...and introducing me to really, really great music - providing a soundtrack for my whole life.

I'll never forget your star turn as the evil villain in, "Dirty Work at the Crossroads." You were hilariously "evil," and the folks in the audience loved booing, hissing and throwing popcorn when you made your entrance.

Of course you were my best man, and then Mark's Godfather. I've included that picture of all of us from our wedding day in San Antonio in 1979. Still can't believe we made it to the wedding on time. 

And when first Dad, then Mom passed, you were there, supporting us and cheering us as only you could.

We passed some 50+ birthdays as friends, and they're all a blur except my 17th at your house, and our 50th, spent together on yet another wonderful  roadtrip.

I was always so impressed with your work at the Cape and still refer to you as my friend, the rocket scientist.

Later your work with fuzzy logic programming led to U.S. patents and world travel. I mean, you got to play with real trains, not toys like the rest of us. How cool is that?!

In later years when we spoke, it was often about our kids. Of everybody I know, you are the only one who struck a good work/family balance, and that includes me. Your devotion to Stephanie, David and Lexie came through every single time we spoke.

Well, you know I've left out a lot, but I better stop now. Please give Allison's, the kids' and my love and respect to our folks...and say hi to Steve for me, too! God bless you, Dave. I miss you so much my Brother!



A great friend, if not my best friend, for 50 years. A trusted, fun, and funny person. We  had many adventures on our road trips to no where in particular. Always back roads and never a dull moment. I do and always will miss him.  To his children and sisters, I pray that you all will heal over time and offer my deepest condolences. 

I worked with Dave at PAFB during the old RCA / Pan Am days. He always had an upbeat attitude, a smile on his face and it wasn’t unusual to hear him chuckling about something.  Our daughters were born on the same day of the year, but one year apart. I used to see him at the soccer fields later on as well. He was always a joy to be around and he will certainly be missed.

I worked with Dave for a while at PAFB.  He was a fine engineer, a fine man and impressed me very much in the short time we worked together.  My sincerest condolences to the family.

My parents Bob and Patty Rexrode were friends with Dave since I was a kid and he always felt like part of our family. He had an easy smile and we enjoyed lots of laughs together over the years. I'll miss him.

David was a very kind man. He was always doing things with and for his family. He was generous with his time for others and said very kind things about other people I will miss him but his spirit will always be with me. Happy I had the opportunity to get to know him.

I used to see Dave most every morning. When asked how's it going he'd always say" to early to tell" Dave was a pretty quiet guy but his actions spoke louder than his words. He didn't  talk the talk he walked the walk.  

deep condolences to all the Teeter Family.  Sure going to miss my dear friend Dave.  Seeya on the peace train dude.....

Warm hands, large heart, gentle soul and deeply loved. 

Thanks for adding to my life story

I worked with Dave,  Bob and Tom at the Eastern Test Range as well... from 1983 - 1990. Such great memories... it was my first job out of college.  Dave had such a tremendous attitude... happy,  funny but always a professional.  And a great laugh I can still hear today! 

In the movie the Bucket List,  there is a great scene where Morgan Freeman tells Jack Nicholson the ancient Egyptians had a beautiful belief about death. When their souls got to the entrance to heaven, the guards asked two questions. Their answers determined whether they were able to enter or not. 'Have you found joy in your life?' 'Has your life brought joy to others? Two great questions...I hope the answer to the first is yes for Dave.  And if I'd have to answer the second one I'd say Dave certainly brought joy to mine!! I'm glad I knew him.  I wish I could have said good-bye. Peace Dave!

Dave and I became fast friends when I graduated college and started working with him at the Eastern Space and Missile Center ("Eastern Test Range") there at Cape Canaveral, Florida, back in 1982. He and his family were always a part of OUR family gatherings and frequent work-related get togethers. And who can forget the annual 'Telemetry Cup" boat races between Dave and  our good friend, Bob (and Patty) Rexrode there in the intracoastal waterway???? The competition was fierce (but fun) and the results were as legendary as the trophies passed out over the years (Bob, Dave, and I are in the picture attached to this memory; the picture is circa 1986 or so). Dana & I wish to express our sincere condolences to Dave's family, and am truly sorry to hear of his passing. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers, and that Dave will be truly missed by everyone who knew him.  Tom & Dana Richardson 

I wasn't real close to David but I know our common bond in our journeys kept us close. May you rest in peace my friend.❤🙏

My heartfelt Condolence for the loss of David, We pray your faith will give you strength🙏🙏🙏.

I was able to get to know Dave more after he was in the hospital with more one on one time. I enjoyed listening to his life experiences regarding his work. I never knew what he did. It was all very fascinating. Dave was quiet and he quietly helped others and was so much appreciated by our fellow 616ers. He is no longer suffering. In this life we are always healed. Sometimes we are healed to Heaven and sometimes we are healed to stay here on Earth. Dave was healed away from Earth and that can be celebrated. He will be missed and so glad he is no longer suffering. 

Dave was a mentor to me for 20 years. He always was patient with a good attitude when I asked for assistance. Being an early starter at work in the mornings “5:30 am”,  Dave would swing by and share the start of his day before heading to his office. I will never forget the word he coined for controlling locomotive speed. “FUZZY LOGIC” He will be missed.

Dave has been a part of our family for 40 years, participating in get togethers, birthdays and weddings.    We will miss celebrating his birthday on “pi” day.   It is going to be hard as important life events happen knowing Dave will not be there.  


Dave and I worked together for the past 17 years.  I have fond memories of working with Dave on many "opportunities to excel". 
In the face of adversity, Dave would always stay positive and would often jokingly say, "I have to keep laughing, it keeps me from crying".  
Dave always knew the right things to say to remind everyone to  "PRESS ON!"

Dave was a joy to be around and I will miss my friend and colleague.
