Bobbi, sorry to learn of David’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family.

Bobbi, so very sorry to hear about David. Our thoughts and prayers to you and your family. It was always a pleasure to listen to all of David's wonderful stories. He will be greatly missed. Love and hugs to you all.

Bobbi, we are so sorry to hear about David. Please know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers during this sad time. David was always so kind to old girl, Mollie, and would always have treats for her in his pocket.

Bobbi- we were saddened to hear about David. He was a character and would bring smiles to our faces. He leaves behind a beautiful family. God bless you all. Love Rog and Sue
