It seems like yesterday I can still hear your voice "you need any help" no thanks just looking. that was before your MHM store moved to Clive. So many cool things, memorabilia Iowa and Iowa state, umbrellas, cards, canes, paperweights, cigars and one of a kind selection of pipes. Visited your Clive store many times the next 7 years and met so many friends enjoying the pipes and cigars there in the store. Knowing you are in heaven makes you even closer, just a prayer away. Think of the good times and the click of your lighter at the Clive store. Just before I indulged in that great Dunhill heritage cigar i bought from you!! Wish you were still here, is never easy, but the fact of knowing you made my short life Richer. Thank You Greg David, old customer Greg Miller.

Remember walking by your shop at MHM and smelling all the pipe tobacco with my late grandmother Betty by my side and a man smoking a pipe near by. Years later I had the privilege's and money at your shop in clive. met and smoked with so many fun people. never forget that eclipse of the sun in 2017 and bought a cool long stem. Remember our buddy George and Sam and daily 8 news and price is right. You said "Greg David" She comes with the car. (price is right) Ha! GOD I miss you and those days just Dreams and Phantoms left. Know someday we will meet in Heaven and would love to meet your Dad Toy. I remember your shop at south ridge too! You always had an A+ collection to chooses from and really cool estates-at good prices too! Blessed to come in and Neat shop Thank You Greg David

I quit tobacco some time ago. When I indulged, trips to David's were routine, and convivial chat was as much a draw as the exceptional products. I'm sorry for the untimely departure of this blithe spirit. May Heaven's gates swing wide for this good man.

To Marilea, Hillary and Sean, we feel your pain and loss. We have lost another brother from the Class of 73 prematurely. Remember what was best about his life and hold it dearly within your hearts. Each day is a gift of God and we treasure the time that we had with Gregory.
