    I was very saddened when hearing of your loss. I know that Dave and I were not close but I still have a fond memory of meeting David in Bangkok while I was on R&R from Vietnam. We went to the world premier of the movie “Tora, Tora, Tora” while in Bangkok. And a few good drinks together.

    He will be missed.

    I don”t Know how we are related but (My Dad who died in July of 1997 was Edward Fliger’s oldest Son) I was in Detroit in 1970 and met a lot of the family,My Uncle is Fred Fliger. I’m very sorry to here of a family member dieing. I would like to get to know more of my family…..

  13. Dave's sister, Jane on September 13th, 2009 5:44 pm

    Linda Ungerman – To my knowledge, we would not be closely related. Our grandfather, Louis Fliger, Sr., came to the USA alone sometime in the 1900s. Not sure exactly when or why. While there are other Fligers in the USA, none of my family that I know of have been able to trace any direct relationship between them and Louis Fliger, Sr.’s immediate family, though I’m sure we’re all related somewhere back in time. Thank you for your condolences.

  14. Fred Fliger on October 16th, 2009 3:23 am

    Linda please contact me Fred Fliger
