Only the good die young. I will treasure my memories of playing ball in the street and going to drive-in movies and Dave letting me practice driving the Cadillac. We had some good times. My condolences to his sisters and family. Chris Nelson

Dear Sandra, Birdie, Maggie and Linda,
I am so sorry for your loss, David was a fun Brother and so much fun as a kid to be around. All the fun we had growing up together in Hidden Acres. What memories to share with the kids. He loved his sisters, and Mom and Dad. I am sure he is very busy with Lou right now. Be kind to one another at this time. God bless David.
My love to all of you, Gail Boehm
