I will remember the funny Uncle David telling us jokes and all the good, happy times, 'God Jul' decorations and Swedish potato sausage. We shared a love for Scandinavian heritage and history. I will carry those traditions on in your memory. Enjoy Valhalla my friend.

Dear Sandi, Nancy, Junie, Laurie, Karen, Lisa and Families, I am so sorry to hear about your loss of David and your Mother. I was away and came home to the news that they had both passed away. That her and your Dad were there to greet him must hold some comfort. With sympathy, Chris Salmonsen Joiner
