Mr. Rheubottom was my teacher when I was in 5th grade... I'm a freshman in college now. Wow. Just decided to look him up and cannot believe he's gone. May he rest in peace and find happiness in heaven. I hope his family can find peace and comfort in knowing that he was a great man and is in a better place.

Dave and I spent several years working together. We were a team of two at Fort Chaffee in Fort Smith Arkansan, then at Fort Polk in Louisianna, then we moved back to Virginia to work together in the PROSOFT office in Newport News. After that, I moved up to the PROSOFT Arlington office. When the other managers heard I was coming, they quit. I asked Dave if he would move up to Arlington and help out. I consider that the smartest management decision I ever made. Dave could do it all. He could design systems engineer them, build them, teach, and manage. Dave had a career change after that and moved to Las Vegas to teach school. I visited him about three years ago and stayed at his home. He and his wife.Judy were superb hosts. For Judy, you have my condolences. We all had some great times together, including cruising the Carribean. After watching Dave get the best of the blackjack dealers aboard ship and in San Juan, I wondered if that was why he chose Las Vegas. Be strong and carry on, and if you get back to Virginia, drop in and see is

I worked with David at EER Systems / PROSOFT in the 90's. He was a good man, a professional, and a good friend. - Michael Downs
