Jana, you know David will be missed by many. I have known him for over 30 years. I will always remember him for his humor. He will be sorely missed. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Hold on tight to the largest and the littlest of memories. Tell others so they stay fresh and go also with others. Love Debbie Findlow Bailey

A silent prayer to a silent key.- David was a wonderful gentleman and a great inspiration to many of us. I am sure that he will be forever in peace with the Lord. - He will always be with us in spirit and his memory will always bring a smile to our hearts. - Dave may now be 'Over and Out' but will never be forgotten.. With greatest respect to 'the magic numbers station' I offer up a final '73' to ' Kilo India Five Victor Mike ' from The Scott Family. (Ayrshire, Scotland)
