David L. Holder

Junior Toad, a.k.a. Mr. Too Cool

Our own myths because that's
what's
Done when you have a legend
Among you. A green checkered
Woolrich
Jacket still...

Sending my warmest thoughts and condolences.
David was an early childhood friend through Ruxton Basketball and Beth Am.

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of need. May your friends and family bring you comfort. With all of our love.
