So sad to hear David passed away. He was a very nice young man when I was a kid and friends with his sister. I remember cutting his hair once on Lillie and Greg Lane's porch on Windsor in Blue Ball back in the late 70's. Deepest sympathy to family and friends.

My deepest sympathy to the whole family. I was his supervisor @ AIT & he always showed me the most respect but still had a way to make me laugh. He will be missed. RIP Davey.
