It was always great to hear his rich melodic black southern voice say "Brother in Law". He was and still is a bright light in my life. I thank God for allowing me to interact with him. Love you Dave!

David was like a brother to me and I shall miss our talks and his telling me how much he loved Gwen. He could make me laugh even when I was having a bad day. I know God knows best, but it sure hurts. :(
