Not sure what to say?

I still miss David a lot

David is remembered every day, when we are greeted at our front door by the hanging lamp he made for us. It was always a pleasant time when we were able to get together and talk about projects and general life experiences.

Three years have passed, but memories never fade. David's hanging lamp still guides visitors to our front door.

I am so very sad to hear this. I will always remember David as being with me in my darkest hour, when he passed me a drink along with Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, left for a moment, flicked a switch, and lit up the night with an entire mountainside of lamps. He made the world better. May he rest in peace.

I am so sad to get the news of David's passing. My heart is with his family as they walk together in his absence.

We have very fond memories of David, we know this is a hard loss for the family. We love you all

Arlene and I are deeply saddened by David's passing. You're all in our prayers and please let us know when we can come up to visit.

We were very sorry to read of David's passing. We met 30+ years ago, while we were both displaying our work at the Southern Living show in Charlotte. We traded with each other, and one of David's hanging lamps lights the area around our front door. Over the years we visited in various locations, and we'll never forget the ride up the 'hill' to his family's mountain home. All of our family enjoyed our contact and conversation, and he will be fondly remembered. I regret we never...

Sorry for your loss. May the God of comfort be with you all during this difficult time. (2 Cor. 1:2-4)
