I haven't seen David since high school but he quickly comes to mind as a man who was humble and not boisterous. He kept to his own business and treated everyone with respect. That is unique...

More specifically, when David and I were in elementary school we had the same home room teacher one year and we proceeded to make World War II comics. David handled the army men and I took the vehicles... My army men looked really messed up so the partnership worked well that way and for the joint nail-biting plots... Maybe we should have been film directors together...

I am very sorry to hear of this loss... The world has lost another good man...

Our thoughts and prayers go out to David's family and the larger Moeggenborg family, whom have done so much good for the community and Alma specifically...

Rest in Peace, David... You will be missed...
