I am very sorry to hear about David's passing. He worked for me 20+ years, and was always on time and never missed work. We also fished, played softball, and went to school together. We also attended various sporting events together such as baseball, football, and wrestling. I will miss you David.

After reading about David's passing in the paper today,alot of very old childhood memories resurfaced. Our two families lived next door to each other in the Duplexes in Copeland Park and then on Phelps Circle until the early 1960's. I wish the best for Norma Lee,Donnie and family.
