WE WERE SO SORRY TO HEAR OF DAVID'S PASSING. WE SAW HIM DURING JACKS CAMPAIGN AND HE AS USUAL HAD A SMILE ON HIS FACE. I KNEW HIM FROM THE FARM SERVICE OFFICE IN RUTHERFORD COUNTY. I NOW WORK IN CLEVELAND COUNTY, BUT DAVID WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE FARMERS TO HELP WHEN HE CAME INTO THE OFFICE. HE WILL BE GREATLY MISSED. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
