David S. Middleton

I worked with Dave at the VA and will always remember him fondly. I admired his artistic talent, and shared his love for Church choir singing. His daily exercise was going to the 6th floor for blood drawing, two or three stairs at a time! Said it kept him in shape. In 1986 I was the new kid and he was sort of a mentor. Taught me alot. I miss the Christmas notes we exchanged until a few years ago. We talked about my niece and his grandaughter-- they were about the same age. I recall he proudly showed me pictures.
My deepest sympathy to all his family and loved ones.

I knew Dave from St. John's Church in North Guilford, where he would always sing "Were You There When They Crucified My Lord?" on Good Friday. Several years later, I heard another man sing the same thing in a very operatic manner, and I sat there thinking, "I wish Dave were here singing this. He is so much more genuine and heartfelt." So I wrote him a note and told him so. He was very happy. Say nice things to people while they are here to hear it -- don't wait until it is too late. It was a blessing to know him.

Shirley, I am very sorry thanI could not make the funeral,I am not feeling well, but my heart and deepest sympathy goes out to you and the family, we will be in touch. Much love and sorrow. Joyce

Dear Mrs. Middleton,

At the prompting of Frances Butts, I want to let you know that I have the deepest sympathy for you and yours. I know your husband from the VA hospital where I met him when I was a student in the laboratory. I always remembered him. I know that you have experienced quite a bit of sorrow, but I pray that the Lord will find a way to encourage you and sustain you.

Sincerely,
Carol Walker
