DAVID J. "BOOK" BOOKOUT

Best wishes for the Bookout family. Eventhough Book was disabled, he was one of the most enabling people I knew. He inspired me in ways I didn't even know at the time. At games, he and Julie Taylor Bookout were there to take pictures and have fun with the band.

We all will mourn him in the following days, but I believe that David wouldn't have wanted to have been...

Julie, I worked with David at 12th Street back in 83'-85'. We had fun there all the time. I only learned of his death yesterday. I lost my husband 22 years ago when my children were very young.

Julie and Girls,
I will miss David and his great stories along with that great laugh that I heard on every shift that I ever worked with him. By the way my favorite story was the Bull and the motorhome.

Hope to see you at the reunion next year.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of loss. Its been years since we have seen David, we graduated high school with David and have nothing but great memories of him. May God help you thru this time of loss.

Julie, I loved David and your whole family. I'm so glad our girls became friends in grade school because we gained a special friendship ourselves. You know I'm a phone call away whenever you need me.
I will miss hearing Book tell all his stories, but I think my favorite was when you hid his arm so he couldn't go hunting! I loved how you both told the story together. He is always gonna be in your heart and in all those crazy stories y'all were always telling. He loved you and the...

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and all of David's many friends. He and I graduated high school together and I will always have fond memories of him. May God bless and watch over each of you as you deal with these difficult times during this loss.
