Glenn and I only learned of David's death after the memorial service had taken place. Had we known, we certainly would have tried to attend. David and Dorcas were important figures in BIC mission history in Africa, and they will be long remembered. Glenn actually lived in their home for a time during his voluntary (1-W) service in Africa, 1961 and 1962. David served his generation well. God bless his memory!

My condolences to the family of David on your loss. It appears that he had a full and very rewarding life and That will provide many fond memories to his surviving family. I know David from when I was a Patriot News carrier in Messiah Village and surrounding area. May God be with all of you.

David was a great inspiration to our ministries at MV. His prayers, encouraging words, and generous love for Christ and others enabled us to minister with the same love . It was a pleasure to know and share ministry with David during the years as pastoral couple, Our prayers are with the family as we grieve his presence and anticipate our reunion in Heaven.
