Not sure what to say?

David was a great friend and mentor to me. I was fortunate to work with him several years ago. He helped hone the skills I regularly use building stringed instruments. I'm going to miss his valuable insights on life, friendship and woodworking. Mostly I'm going to miss that sense of humor that was so uniquely his.

I met David nearly 50 years ago when I was a bar singer and he was a restaurant manager. I've considered him a dear friend ever since. It's hard to believe it's been 44 years since I sang and played guitar at David and LeeAnn's wedding! LeeAnn, if there's anything you need...please let me know.

I met David for the first time when I cleaned for his mother-in-law Eileen. He kept asking me to come clean for him and his wife. I finally teamed up with my sister Sue and cleaned for them. I remember he always had a smile on his face and something kind to say. He sure will be missed. I'm sending my HUGS and prayers to you Leeann.

Don Damuth is my name and a vietnam veteran. We shared a lot of stories together over dinner we will miss him, God has you now, my good friend.

May you Rest In Peace David, thank you so much for your service.

I cleaned David and Leann,s house for many years,he was su ch a great guy and will be greatly missed.

David was the right man, at the right time, for me. His love of construction and all things of quality were positively infectious. This however was secondary to his fairness and desire to serve those around him. A legend to me.

Thank you for your service Sir
