David and I worked together onboard the E.P.Paup while he was with Manson Gulf and during that time I was fortunate to get to know him well and call him my friend. I am saddened by his passing and will be keeping him and his family in my heart, thoughts and prayers.
Rest now, my friend "Zippity".

David and I have been friends since 1965. We raced together for 5 years all over the east coast. He was truly a great guy and always had a smile. It was strange that we both ended up moving to Houma. I will miss him.
