My heart goes out to the family. While I haven't seen David in years, we grew up as part of a special family of friends that spent summers together at Manapogo Park. Will always hold our friendship dear.

Hey Buddy! Just got home from the funeral home. You look great. I decided to light up a campfire, drink a beer (or 2!) and thinking if old times. Good old PBR (I graduated to BUD LIGHT!) and euchre. What fun we all used to have! You were a great person and I'm gonna miss you! I can't believe it. This is our final goodbye until we meet up again in heaven! Tell Jimmy B. I said hi! RIP my dear friend! Many hugs and Love! Judy

David had a special place in my life. He shared himself with me in interests (flying)and beliefs in life. Though at times being rough around the edges, he was a very giving and thoughtful person. He spent too much time trying not to show it. Myself and Family will miss him dearly and His memories will endure with us forever.
May he be at Peace, and Kept in the Unconditional Bliss of our Maker's embrace.

Dave was a good friend we had a lot of laughs together, and a lot of good times flying together.

My deepest sympathy to the family. I often thought of David over the years. The last we spoke was to tell me he was going to be a father. He was my first friend at Manapogo and probably my best friend. He will be missed.
