David, I think back to the time when I was a permanent fixture around Melinda's house. You being your usual hysterical self inventing "table surfing " No one could be mad at you for long, you had a way of making everyone around you laugh! That is what I will hold in my heart and always remember you for! Table surfing! You left an awful lot of people here that will never be the same!! All my thoughts and prayers to all of your family! Peace be with you now buddy!
