Not sure what to say?

Will always recall Dave:
Paying for some of his team to come to our house and paint when we moved to town.
Being an encouragement to me during some tough times.
Taking me to a Cleveland Indians Spring Training Game my first Spring in town.
Taking the time to be kind and encouraging to my young boys.
And of course, telling me how proud he was of another Crimson Tide victory.

TC & Family,
I am truly sorry for the loss of your father.
May God Bless.

So sorry for your loss. We are thinking of you all and praying for God to comfort as only HE can do! David, Jennifer Benson Kent, Jordan and Josh Kent

Teresa (TC) and family, I only met your Dad once, but what a presence! It was obvious you and he were the best of friends. I'm sorry for your heartbreak and loss, as I recall you had many wonderful adventures. Prayers for healing of sorrow, and the blossoming of many wonderful memories to replace the emptiness you feel.

Dave was a nice man and a really fun guy. The world is a better place for his having passed this way.

Memory takes me back many years to 'Joe's Coffee Cup' on Bank Street In Decatur where I had the pleasure of knowing and loving this precious family. Joe and Letha and their three sons David, Doug, and Mike.
Doug, I'm so sorry for the passing of David. You and your family are in my prayers as you mourn. God bless you all in the days ahead. I pray that you will claim God's promise that "weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning " Psalms30:5b
