Not sure what to say?

I didn’t see much of David once we grow up. Then, when our Florence became ill, I had the privilege of being with him again when we were visiting her. David impressed me as being a gentle, loving, caring man. He always made me laugh with his witty humor. My heart goes out to all the family as I write this today. Time may pass, but the heart still feels the loss. ~Cousin Sherry

I had the pleasure of working with Dave and the Hancock County Vietnam Vets. We also were on the same honor flight to Washington DC. And I remember Dave placing a rose at the Wall. Dave was just a good guy all around, and we will miss him and his dry and humorous outlook. My sincere condolences to all the family.
