Not sure what to say?

As a young engineer at NASA, I worked with Bill for many years at the LTPT wind tunnel complex. He was always willing to help and I often used him as a sounding board for my projects. He was always a gentleman, always humorous, and I will always miss my friend.

What a super man and he will be missed by all! I remember the times we spent painting rooms at First church in Hampton

At NASA I remember David as Bill who taught me how to run a wind-tunnel test with no benefit to himself. He was always good natured.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all. To all of the grandchildren you are so blessed to have shared so much quality time with these two special grandparents.

So sorry to hear about your loss. You know that God and Jesus are in the best position to comfort us when we lose a loved one in death.

Dear Lou and family,

There are so many fun memories. We always laugh about the time Dave, Jimmy and William were at the farm in Toano using a Moon Pie for target practice! Dave and Jimmy couldnt believe William hit it in the center.

We love you and are holding you in our prayers,

There are never enough people like David, a wonderful friend full of love and good humor. We will remember him always with gratitude to God for having David and his family in our lives.
