DAVID WAS SUCH A GREAT GUY. WE HAD A LOT OF GOOD TIMES BACK IN OUR TEENS. HANGING OUT IN KENAWORTH AREA, DOUBLE DATING OR JUST BEING A BODY GUARD FOR A BUNCH OF US GIRLS AT THE PEPPERMINT LOUNGE IN VA BEACH BACK IN THE 60'S. I STILL HAVE THE BLUEPRINTS FOR MY HOME THAT HE DREW UP FOR PHILLIP AND I IN '77, THAT I STILL LIVE IN. I KNOW HE WILL BE GREATLY MISSED BY ALL HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS. I AM SORRY I DID NOT KNOW THIS BEFORE NOW. I WOULD HAVE BEEN THERE WED NITE IF I HAD KNOWN. GOD BE WITH ALL OF THE FAMILY DURING THIS TIME OF GRIEF.

David was a terrific guy who would do anything for anyone. We will miss our grillmaster, and our "Easter Bunny." He would quietly do whatever needed to be done, and he served God in his own way.
