Freddy's brother":

Dear Friends,
I am deeply saddened to
report that Fred (aka Freddy) Sage suffered a terrible loss today
when his younger brother, David, quietly passed away.
David has been a real
trooper over these last several months since learning cancer had
invaded almost every part of his body, and while he never gave up
hope, he also did not sugar coat the seriousness of his problem.
With Freddy and Karen's
help, he managed to stay somewhat independent and mobile. I
never stopped by for a short visit that he wasn't up and neatly
dressed, something he did for himself every day. He also
usually watched that TV station which shows the old movies, and I am
going to miss our talks about the movie stars from ages ago. Unlike
myself, David always recognized them and knew their names.
David will always remain
very much alive in my memory....actually, I remember when his
mother, Laura, was pregnant with him when we all were neighbors in Stuart
Gardens. And that may be the good part, i.e., he's once
again with his parents and others from those early fun days in
Stuart Gardens, to include
Johnny (Canepa
- '60)
(02 Jan 1941 -18 Apr
1998) and my
mother.
I know Freddy and
Karen will be very much in your thoughts and prayers at this
time.....and their address is 33 Elm Avenue, Newport News, VA
23601-3612.
Kind regards, sac
Oh, Sandra, I'm so
very sorry to hear this! As a Stuart Gardens kid myself, I grew up
with David; we shared many classes together over the years. I had
no idea he was ill. Thank you so very much for letting me know,
and please accept my deepest condolences on the loss of your dear
friend.

sorry to here about your loss. July 12, 2011
Freddie and Karen, I
am so sorry to read your loss. You are in my thoughts.
July 12, 2011
My deepest sympathy for
your loss. I too, grew up in Stuart Gardens, right around the corner
from the Sages and the Canepas. We were all such permanent fixtures
back then, never thinking the neighborhood and those times would be
gone forever, but I'm sure anyone from there has the most pleasant
of memories. I remember David well, and always thought he was so
nice, even when he fussed at me for being the neighborhood scamp.
May he rest in peace. ~ Suzanne Collier McKown, Hampton, Virginia July 12, 2011
David and I were classmates
at NNHS and graduated together. I remember his sense of humor and he
could easily make you laugh. It was always fun to be with him. My
thoughts and prayers are with his family.
July 12, 2011
Freddie, I am so sorry to

you and your family. I feel your loss. Pauline Collins Shonfer ~ Pauline Shonfer, Newport News, Virginia July 12, 2011
Went to school with David. May he rest
in peace.
July 12, 2011
I wish to express my condolences to
David's family. I remember David (and
that old Volvo he once drove) from many,
many years ago and will always remember
him as a very nice person.
July 12, 2011

~ Karen R. Dilley July 13, 2011
David and I were best friends as
children. We grew up across the street
from each other in Stuart Gardens, a
very special place. He was a good
friend, a great guy and came from a
wonderful, wonderful family. Everyone
who knew him will miss him always. To
Freddie and Karen and all of his
extended family and friends, Cathy and I
share in your deep sense of loss.

To the family of
David Sage:
Please accept my
deepest sympathy
to all of you. I
did not know
David; however,
I lost my
husband 11
months ago to
the same
debilitating
disease,
aggressive
prostate cancer.
We used the same
two practices
though we had
different
doctors. I have
been down this
road and I know
exactly what it
was like for him
and you. May you
feel the peace
from God through
all that lift
you to Him
during these
difficult days
now and in the
future.
Blessings,
~ Penney

I first met Dave in college when we were both ROTC students. I was
instrumental in introducing Dave to law enforcement, a career he pursued
throughout his military service and even after his retirement. In
addition to being an avid golfer he loved to ski and used his postings
in Germany to serve on the National Ski Patrol. Dave was intelligent,
funny, gregarious, and even charismatic. His loss comes as a great shock
and all his friends will miss him. Our hearts go out to his family.
July 18, 2011
David and I grew up together in Stuart Gardens. He was just a really fine
person with great wit. My sincere condolences to his family.
July 18, 2011
David and I worked together at USCIS. He was a great man
with such a great sense of humor. He was one that would
always make you laugh. He will be truly missed. Sandy, my
thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

David Sage was my supervisor for about 2 and 1/2 years. He
was a great supervisor because he always took care of his
people. David was about doing the "right job" and doing the
"job right." He was also a very kind person, a good soldier
and Army Officer (something we share in common), an expert
in USCIS matters, and a friend to many of his co-workers. My
deepest sympathies and my prayers to David's family and
friends!
July 18, 2011
I worked with David, and David had a heart of gold, and so
intelligent and witty. He was one of a kind and will truly
be missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to the Sage
family, God bless you all.

everyday. David you will be truly missed. My deepest
sympathies, condolences and prayers go out to the Sage
family. God bless and be with you all.
July 19, 2011
I worked for David Sage for almost 2 years. He was a great
Supervisor and had a great sense of humor. He always told me
that "If you take care of the troops, the troops will take
care of you". I will surely missed him as a friend. My
deepest sympathy his family.
~ Manny Ruiz, Temecula, California July 19, 2011
David was my supervisor for a couple of years and currently,
the mentor for the R.W. team. Such an intelligent and

inspiration and he'll be sorely missed at CSC. My thoughts
and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Rest in
peace and love David!
~ Debbie Pato, Carson, CA July 19, 2011
I had the pleasure of working with David for many years. He
was a gentleman and a friend to many. He brought a great
sense of humor with him everywhere he went and will be
missed by all.
I'm sure he will find many golf courses in heaven. Hope you hit them all long and straight, my friend. My sincere sympathy to the family. RIP, David. July 19, 2011
Thank you David for making difficult work fun. If there was
anyone who could get me to laugh at a tough situation, it
was you. I will treasure the friendship. ....rock on my
friend.
July 20, 2011
My sincere condolences to all of David's family. I met David
in the 70's in Germany. He was one of two that pushed me
into joining the USACIDC. I always respected him for that.
David was truly a great person. Rest in peace.
~ Unsigned July 20, 2011
David was my supervisor for 2 1/2 years. I am proud to say I
had the honor of working for David, a true mentor he was to

those around laugh like crazy. My thoughts and prayers go

with God! Rest in Love and Paradise! Always...Elaine Meaole

(21 Feb 1801 – 11 Aug 1890)
Fourth Verse written by Edward H. Bickersteth, Jr.
(10 Mar 1823 – 22 Jan 1876)
Lead, kindly Light, amid th’encircling gloom,
Lead Thou me on!
The night is dark, and I am far from home;
Lead Thou me on!
Keep Thou my feet; I do not ask to see
The distant scene; one step enough for me.
I was not ever thus, nor prayed that Thou
Shouldst lead me on;
I loved to choose and see my path; but now
Lead Thou me on!
I loved the garish day, and, spite of fears,
Pride ruled my will. Remember not past years!
So long Thy power hath blessed me, sure it will,
Will lead me on.
O’er moor and fen, o’er crag and torrent, till
The night is gone,
And with the morn those angel faces smile,
Which I have loved long since, and lost awhile!
Meantime, along the narrow rugged path,
Thyself hast trod,
Lead, Savior, lead me home in childlike faith,
Home to my God.
To rest forever after earthly strife
In the calm light of everlasting life.
