  1. I had Dave Sontag as a teacher my senior year at Jefferson High School! I hope that he continues to progress with intent to “keep going” , especially after chemo!

    Keep going Mr Sontag! You got this!

  2. If there is one person that can do this it’s Dave. I have played baseball with Dave and against Dave, and let me tell you I’d much rather play with him. He is relentless and determined and this will get him through this. Fight the fight brother, I know you will you don’t quit anything.
    All my prayer and love to the Sontag family
