David Michael Trudell

I recently, read of David's passing in 2009, and was deeply saddened. He and I were friends in the late 1960's. I moved in 1969 to Virginia. As time passes, we may not see each other but friendships are enduring. I offer my sympathies to his sister, and his extended family. Also, to his friends! May the Lord give you comfort and strength in the years ahead!

I met David in 1966, when I moved into his neighborhood. We went to school together at bryan station where he played on the football team. I left, lexington in 1969. I lost touch with David, and many other friends which I often regret. I recall, David being a comical but humble soul, who always made me laugh. We had many happy experiences fishing together, and his preparation in tuning my boxing skills. I was no jerry quarry. I was saddened to hear of his later disability and...

Well, Dave it's been one year. Saw Gordon Lightfoot the other night and was thinking of you at the concert. He was great. You would have enjoyed it

Dave, you will be remembered as the greatest storyteller and jokester that I have ever known. Some of the stories that I have relayed to friends have had them laughing hysterically. It was rather prophetic that he passed on the 133rd anniversary of the "Battle of Little Bighorn", June 25. He was, to me, a scholar on the subject of George Armstrong Custer. It was utterly amazing to listen to him quote from books that he read on the subject. He also corrected anything that I read to him...

Dave was the best story teller i've ever known. Any phone call less than an hour long didn't hardly count.
I liked him a lot. For 42years!

Trudy,
You will be missed more than you know. I will miss our late night 2 hour conversations. Our discussions ranged from politcs, religion, history, books, realationships and the memories we made together particularly our days at EKU and with Sigma NU .We shared many laughs and a few tears. We remained connected long after our college days were over.We shared many secrets and tried to "solve the problems of the world". As much as I will miss you I know that your suffering is now over...

Dave left Bryan Station classmates with a lot of great memories and stories, from football to poker. He will be missed.

My son and I have been blessed with numerous conversations with David over the past several months. We were amazed with his life experiences, his intelligence, his memory for details, and his kindness. Dave had Phil Refbord mail my teenage son one of his favorite board games. Thanks Dave, we'll take good care of it. We're glad Dave found us after all these years (I originally met Dave in college). He called often and kept us updated on his health. When we were not home, he always left a...
