David was much more than a classmate in law school. He was GREAT friend. We survived the rigors of law school and studied, ate and went to the only bar in town and listened to the train go through Ada while at the bar. I will cherish that memory forever.

I still think of David often. There were so many little sayings and mannerisms that I remember almost daily. Miss you David

I have such wonderful memories of David. We grew up educationally in the law school at Ohio Northern. We were in a study group, played racquetball, talked endlessly about family and friends, attended our weddings afterward and much more. His passing hit me hard because of all of that and the fact that we were the same age. It reinforced my thinking that life is short and things can change in the blink of an eye. Debbie, I think of you often. Our lives continue on. Call me if you want to chat.
