I would like to say that David, you will truly be missed by many. When I did come to Ohio and I got a chance to see u. U would always be smiling. I really never saw you sad at all. U was always a happy person. Our last encounter was when u came out to my dad's and Ann McNeal's house I was helping u take some boxes of chicken to the car. U and I talked and laughed for a while. My brother, Billy McNeal would always brag on your cooking, because he loved to eat. Well Dave, now you can cook and sing up in heaven. Our condolences from Willie McNeal and Lisa McNeal from Dothan, Alabama.
