Trust that you've been able to treasure those good memories of David while journeying on with your lives making new memories. I will always remember his love for photography, astronomy, anything to do with science and especially physics, as well as telling a funny story, and being so proud of his family.

I have great memories of David going on his first Dove Hunt with us along the Mexican border in South Texas when he was a teenager. I also remember the time when David was in law school and quite a good photographer that I hired him to take some pictures for me in a case that was going to trial. In the wee hours of the morning before the trial, I was awakened by the sound of something rattling around and bumping the side door of my house. I could see through the glass door in the darkness a large man who seemed to be trying to open the door. I thought it might be a burglar. I considered arming myself, but then decided to simply flash the kitchen light on and off to scare the robber away. Sure enough, he jumped down off the porch and drove away. When I went outside to check, I realized that it had been David arranging still wet photographs for my trial on my porch. It was a good lesson in thinking twice before aiming a gun through a glass door at a presumed burglar.

I also remember how bravely David and Marie Louise and their children faced his affliction. I have the greatest admiration for all of you.

I am so sorry to hear of David's passing. David was truly a giving, caring, intelligent, gentleman. His mother was my high school teacher in both the 11th and 12th grade. And so I had the good fortune to meet first meet David when he was in the eight grade. So I was there to watch him grow up through all phases of his life. I have so many memories of him over the years, and he became such a part of me. My life was enriched by knowing him. Rest in peace dear David.

Marie and family, my deepest sympathies for your loss especially at Christmas time. I agree fully that David is in a much better place now. I know he endured a tremendous amount of difficulty over the last 16 years. May the peace of Christ be with all of you as we celebrate his glorious birth.

My dear brother..no so much more, my friend, my mentor. You were always there for me. When D.D. died you took me under your wing..you included me in every activity of your life. From our late night chats at Gweny's house to watching sci-fi movies and eating sushi you were truly a big brother to me. Thank you for letting me hang out with you and your beautiful family all these years..making the movie, hunting, working with you in New Orleans.We had so many good moments. I miss you Davie O Davie. I know you are resting in the Lord now and that he will reunite us shortly. Come quickly Jesus and bring my David with you. I pray that I can share your love, humor, intelligence and warm hospitality with others as you shared with me. Be at peace my dear brother.

Sometimes words can not express enough about the pain that we are experiencing. I pray that soon we will get to see the day when pain will be no more and that kingdom that Jesus said we should pray for to come on earth as it has in heaven. May the God of comfort be with you and your family at this most difficult time.
