David, my brother. You were always the closest and most meaningful person in my life. We didn't always share the same philosophies about things, but we shared love between one another and never made each other mad. My life will never be the same without you. It will take me a long time to believe you are gone. My children have lost their Uncle David....who means everything to them.

Half-Hog-Pro-Nicho-Long, our first band! Brian Halferty(class of 72), David Hogbin, Scott Provow, Steve Nichols(class of 71) and Craig Long. Man you were awesome on the keyboard. I remember picking David up at his house many times for band practice and he was always so embarrassed and proud when his little sister would always grab his hand and say don't leave "Princey"! Precious Memories. God Speed Brother ... I'll look forward to reuniting with you in heaven!
