I am so sad to learn of Davids passing. I loved working with him the years we were blessed with and the best friendships that were like family to me at Alltel. He was a great friend. Ken and I always keep in touch w each other and I always ask about our friend David even one of our last calls we three way called w David which I loved. I will always cherish the wonderful memories and friendship we had and hold them in my heart forever. My thoughts and prayers are with you his family and Ken and Hank. I know he will be missed. Sending my deepest condolences to you all.
