I am saddened to hear of David's death. We played together as children, our moms taking turns leading our Cub Scout activities.
David was such a great guy. I enjoyed his relaxed attitude and keen sense of humor. A very talented artist, too.
I believe David told the Air Force recruiter that he wanted to be an advertising artist like his father, and the guy said, "You got it." After basic training they said, "We don't need any artists at this time, but we do need some of your other talents."
We only saw each other once after that, back in Tuscaloosa. I'll carry his memory always.

To the Family of David Albritton,
What an unbelievable shock that I'm even writing this...
I met David a few months ago while working at MacDill Air Force Base. I can't tell you how much he made me smile...he came in one morning and said I missed him petting a baby opossum that was outside by the entrance door. We laughed about a flower pod on a philodendron and how unique it was. We talked about the house along the lake that he was going to build for his retirement. It was great having conversations that were so light-hearted with a very kind man that I just met.
David, now you are by the lake with an aerial view...I'll miss you making me laugh. Look for my Dad...he'll show you around and I'll bet he'll go fishing with you.

David and I went to high school together. I found his name on the web site for our 40th reunion. He was fun to be around, full of mischevous behavior but always with a good heart. He will be missed.
May God bless his family.

Aunt Eva, I will keep you in my prayers. This news is the most devastating I have encountered in my lifetime so far, and I have shed many tears that usually never come. David was not only an uncle, but he was also a comrade, close confidant, and best friend to my wandering soul. We had splendid times together, and his candor and jovial manner will be sorely missed. I will light a candle in Sacre Coeur for him today.

David stopped by Eva's office one day not too long ago. It was the last time we had a chat about what was going on in our lives. He was always full of enthusiam and ideas.
