So sorry to hear of David's passing. I first met Dave when he worked at Fun & Foods on 8th & Chestnut, then later we worked at Braendel of and on over the years. Dave always had a great smile and never failed to stop by the art dept to talk. He was way too young to go so soon. R.I.P. Dave.

Dear Tyler,
I was your dad's hairdresser for many years and your for a while also, your dad was a great guy i really miss our visits when he came into the salon, I guess he must have been sick for a while because i haven't seen him for quite some time. I have asked about him often. So sorry for your loss, I am sure you have many memories of him as do all of his family and friends. Please remember you have the love and support of your family at this time. Take care of yourself and tell your mom i asked about her too. Dee Dee Johnosn
