My family extends its deepest sympathies at the loss of Dave. Our dad, Tom Delahoyde, had fond memories of Lead/Deadwood which often included John and June Korpi and other young people of the day. We appreciated Dave and June's expressions of sympathy at the loss of Tom. We hope Dave's journey was brief, and the landing soft. Many blessings to you all in the days and weeks ahead.

June, Sherill and I send our deepest sympathy to you. We admire your courage and strength in allowing David to spend these last few months at home. I am remembering a few years back when you called me to share some Deadwood/Treber legacy and history. I have only published a small bit of what you shared on my dhscIassmates web site. Not many Deadwood families can first-hand recall a close relationship with the vanished Deadwood Chinese Community! How neat that the internet allows us to become acquainted, tho separated. Thank you for yours and David's friendship.

To June, Donna & Family, Terri Lynn & Family Our Deepest Sympathy. June contacted me through Ancestry 2 years ago about David's Great Grandmother Dorothy Jane Atkinson to see if there was any connection which there was as Dorothy Jane Atkinson was the Daughter of Robert Atkinson the Brother of my 2 x Great Grandfather Richard which made June & David our 4th Cousins. Since then not only have we have become Great Friends there as come an amazing bond between Our Families sending other Photo's and Family Information to put on to our Family Trees through email as well as sending each other Presents. We were coming over to meet June & David in May but unfortunately David's Health got worse and we had to cancel our trip which was just as well because our Daughter Kelly Marie started to have Health problems. Although we never got to meet David and that is our biggest regret we phoned each other and talked about Family and from these conversations we knew what a Wonderful Couple June & David were even in his last few days Donna told me that he was still asking if Kelly was getting better. We will be saying a Prayer for David at home coincide with the time of David's Funeral. GOODBYE OUR GREAT FRIEND AND 4TH COUSIN MAY YOU REST IN PIECE AND GOD BE WITH YOU ALWAYS. WE WILL COME OVER AND PAY OUR PERSONNAL RESPECTS TO YOU IN THE FUTURE AND MEET YOUR WONDERFUL WIFE JUNE & DAUGHTERS DONNA & TERRI LYNN. LOVE NOW AND ALWAYS, BILL. MARIE. & KELLY ATKINSON.

Dear Aunt June and family, Uncle David was so very special to me. As a boy, as we visited South Dakota, I will always remember him as someone always willing to make time for me. As a young father and husband, I learned from him how to be loving to his wife and daughters. I loved him and will miss him. We lost him, but God gained a Saint.

When I met Terri 20 years ago I knew she was someone special. I also knew there was a reason and I couldn't wait to meet her parents. When I did it validated exactly why Terri was the angel she is. June, you and David made this whole place a better world. Thank you. My heart goes out to your whole family, all the generations. I can just visualize David William and Joseph William, my dad, up there in their John Deere hats just working away looking down on us and smiling.

Living on Peak St. next to you was the first real memories that I have as a child. We have moved in and out of each others lives in the past 40 plus years, but whenever we saw each other again it was like we never left. I always felt so comfortable and welcome around all of you. Mr. Treber,(he will always be Mr. Treber to me), had a great sense of humor and a wonderful laugh. Take care Love Hever

June and Family, There is a road that we must all travel alone. There David will find lots of happiness and peace. God has prepared a special place just for him. David is with God now and is in the best of hands. David was the nicest guy and I have so many great memories of living in Lead on the same street with him and June. I remember how much he loved to tie fishing flies in their basement and he told me he loved the outdoors. I will miss him a lot. He always called me by my nickname Tootsie. Peace be with you, David. Close friends always. Janice Brudvig Hardy

We were very sorry to learn of Dave's passing. It was my privilege to work with Dave at Homestake from 1988-1994. He was a good man and he will be missed. We salute his service to our country. - J.D. and Jan Peppmeier

Trevor Atkinson

Wakefield, Yorkshire, England.

It is with heavy hearts and tears in our eyes that we hear of the passing of David William Treber, a man who stole our hearts with his soft South Dakota voice and charm. We regret that we did 'nt meet him some twenty years ago when he was in his prime, a proud strong man who I not only share DNA but the love of the outdoors and mountains. I look back on the long summer evenings spent joking and sharing tales on Davids back porch of Custer, the Little Big Horn and the wild west. He did his best to feed me home made cowboy beans and his biscuits and gravy breakfast, but sadley he lost his brave battle with Cancer, he said to me once " Trevor, I ve had a good life" meeting change my life for the better, so sleep tight David and be at peace, we,ll meet again in heaven one day, God bless. x Trevor Atkinson the Great, Great Nephew of Little Gran.

June and family It is with such a heavy heart that I write this note- words cannot express our sympathy to you and your family. Dick and I regret so much that we did not have an opportunity to meet you and David much sooner in life - or get together so we could have become better acquainted.

Dear June & family, Both Tom and I want to express our most sincere sympathy in the passing of Cousin David. I regret that we did not see one another for years between times becuse of the distance in miles that separated us--certainly our loss!!David was always a fun loving person with lots of class and dignity--his family is proof of that! Keep the memories close to your heart in the days to come, and perhaps there will be comfort in a life well spent with each other! Uncle Ras (my Dad) passed away on May 1st, so let's hope David and he can get reacquainted and share some laughs together!! They always enjoyed one another's company! Our prayers are with you at this time of loss. Our condolences, Tom and Joanne Farus

Although we didn't know each other very long, I'm sure glad I had the chance to meet grandpa David. What I admired most about him was the way in which he loved his wife and family. I can only hope I emulate that same love to family members around me. Grandpa David, you served as an excellent example of what this looks like.
