Libby and Family,
The passing of a loved one is so unsettling; the hope that God gives one is so comforting; find joy in the good memories of a very special man. David will be missed by all who knew him and his legacy and especially his many friends in the skeet world. God bless you.

Libby, I'm so sorry about David. My mom and dad loved him, and you, dearly. I have always had my own fond memories of looking up to David as a child, and the kindness he always showed to me, though I was just a little squirt, and his patience in teaching me to shoot with his bow. Kindness makes a lasting impression, and that's part of what I carry with me from David. You and all your family are in our heart and prayers.
