Not sure what to say?

We were saddened to hear of David's passing. Have many fond memories of high school days and other events. May your memories provide you comfort at this most difficult time.

David and I had many childhood memories on Long Street in Galax. Will miss him dearly.

I am surely going to miss you Brother. Love you forever.

David was a good student and athlete. He was an asset to every team he played with. As an official he continued to be a positive influence. His impact on sportsmanship will be long remembered. I am honored to have worked with him.

I remember playing ball with and against David when I lived in Carroll County and he in Galax.
Eventually we worked together at Penry Mfg. in Galax. He succeeded me as plant industrial engineer upon my move to Knoxville, TN.
Sadly we lost contact after my move away.

Sorry for your loss.... I worked with David at Mohawk, he was a good man to work for and get along with. I'm sure he will be missed.

David was a great friend to all who knew him. He was so proud of his children. I have great memories of going to ball games with David. He always had a great eye for basketball and would help me scout teams before Gunnar’s games.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

I worked with David for a brief time at Mohawk Industries. He was a truly kind gentleman, and I thought a lot of him. I am very sorry for your loss.
