Rest In Peace brother. So many memories. Blessings to the entire Rusch family.
I was saddened to hear of Dave’s passing. Dave was my coach for Post 2 baseball. He was fantastic. Great to be around. Definitely knew his baseball. Especially, pitching. Coach Harter must have needed a pitching coach in heaven. God, sent Dave. He will be missed. Gods blessings to his family.
Rest Easy now Dave. My favorite “Ditch” buddy. We had a lot of fun in our neighborhood. Peace and prayers sent to your family.
We are so sad by Dave’s passing. So many memories from grade school days to now. Playing ball, getting into some fun, bowling and just being a good friend. That kind heart of Dave’s was huge. We will be missing you at the golf tournament this summer buddy. And missing you along the next years.
Sorry to hear of Dave’s passing. He was a great teammate and good friend during our legion baseball days.
R.I.P. Ruscher. You will be missed. Great memories bowling ,playing softball and just having fun. I was at his Am Legion baseball induction and was amazed at the records and stats he had. He always had fun doing everthing
RIP David
Friday night bowling will have a different look to it not seeing the black hammer racing down the left side of the lanes hunting for pins .and not seeing the “walk away Renae” what a move that was!
I was saddened to hear about the loss of Dave. I met Dave as a freshman in High School. He was kind, caring, and had a good sense of humor. We shared some wonderful times together. I will miss him and his smile.
I will be out of town and unable to attend Dave’s services however I wanted the family to know they will be in my thoughts
