Not sure what to say?

In loving memory of a wonderful friend and co-worker. I had the pleasure of working with Dave at Springs CSC in Lancaster. He was always such a delightful person to be around and I loved listening to his funny stories about fishing, etc. He will surely be missed...My sympathies to Libby and family.

Libby, I am so sorry to hear about David. You are in my thoughts.

God sometimes needs to take a good one for himself....He will continue to be with us...

Libby, I just told a story about David and I in the National Guard together last week and now see of his passing, he was a great guy and will be missed. An old, old friend from Pickens. Dicky Peace

Condolences from Kay Glidewell ( former coworker) he was always a pleasure to work with. Sorry to hear of your loss.

Libby and Family,
The passing of a loved one is so unsettling; the hope that God gives one is so comforting; find joy in the good memories of a very special man. David will be missed by all who knew him and his legacy and especially his many friends in the skeet world. God bless you.

Very best wishes.

Dear Libby and family, I am so sorry to hear about Dave. It is never easy to give up those we love, especially our husbands. Please know you will be in my thoughts and prayers during this sad time. May you find peace and comfort in all your precious memories that you shared for 50 years! My John thought a lot of Dave and always enjoyed spending time with him. Take care of yourself along the way. May God bless you all!!
