My heartfelt sympathy goes out to each one of David's family members. Especially all of his beautiful children!
You were so special and dearly loved dear David. I will miss you tremendously.
My thoughts will be with all of you today during the Memorial Service. Wish I could've been there but, living in Germany it was just too far away at such a short notice.
Till we meet again, LOVE and PEACE
Your friend

It was never a mystery when David came into the room...you always knew he was there. Quick to smile and full of life, one could not help but notice him. He took me for my first motorcycle ride, and no matter what his affiliations were, he was really hard to stay angry at. Much love to Pat, Tricia, Dana, David, Jesse, Kristin, and Becky. May he always feel the wind in his hair.
