Not sure what to say?

Miss you David.

I was saddened to hear the news about David. David and I were good friends and shipmates as we both decided to make the military a career right out of high school. We often connected when the AHS class of 66 would have a class reunion. We spoke about our military career and the future. David was a good man, and I liked and admired him for his work ethics and dedication to his family. Always positive and willing to assist you. Semper fidelis my friend.

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