to.Mr. Morgan was such a warm spirited man who loved life! Mr.Morgan will be truly missed but never forgotten.

To Vivian and family,
Jackaboo was an integral part of our family. The thing I loved about him was that he loved my cooking and would eat anything that I cooked. He made me feel really good about being a decent chef. I'll miss his hugs, as he always approached me with a smile and a hug. He would listen most of the time, agreeing with most things that I said. He often educated me on cars, their value, how to purchase, and how one knows if you're paying too much for a car. Most importantly he taught me to think about car purchases as an investment. My family and I pray daily that God will give you strength.
Hold on to your precious memories and know that God will be with you and he won't leave you. He'll be there to comfort you every step of the way. The Wynne Family and Jones family are glad that he touched our lives in a positive way. My children and granchildren loved him. We'll always remember his loving spirit.

May the love and peace of God be with you in this difficult time. David will be missed by family and friends. My prayers are with you and your family.

Vivian & Family,it is a comfort that we can have God's power in our lives. It is a comfort that we can have God's leadership day by day. It is a comfort that we can have daily bread, but it is a comfort that we can have the peace of God in the midst of sorrow/heartaches. So know that the One who hangs the rainbow out has His own plans for you & your family. And may it comfort you to know that you are in His care. And God will always be with you, for God is everywhere. Our prayers are with you and your family, as you go thru this very difficult time in your life. Remember "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding." (Proverbs 3:5). Mrs. Doris Lockley & Family - Williamsburg, VA

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

May God continue to comfort the family during this difficult time. David; as we referred to him many times on Sunday as the "Deacon" because his manner was humble, distinguished, and he carried out his responsbilities with such distinction. David's definitely one of a kind and will be truly missed. Our thoughts and prayers will stay with you and your family.

While Ari and I only met David a few times, we have memories of his gentle spirit. I remember our dinner at O'Charley's and David playing with Ari, lots of laughs that day, so thanks for stopping to visit with us. We wish we would have gotten to know him better. May God continue to hold you close during this time, at always.
Love,

Vivian,
Deborah and I are very sorrow to hear of David’s passing and send our heartfelt sympathy and prayers that God be with you and your family in this time of sorrow.
May you never forget the joy and special years that you and David shared. With God’s love and the love of your children, grandchildren, family and friends you will find the strength to make it through this time of sorrow.
I believe David is now with our God in heaven and probably trying to talk Him out of one of His special cars.
Smile!!!!
With Love,

God knows all and He always carries us through our most difficult times. We are praying that God will strengthen, lead, carry and provide you will everything that you need to go through this time of bereavement and sorrow. Sorrowfully and lovingly submitted

I first met Mr Morgan at Sims Metal Scrap yard in York Co 5 or 6 years ago.We got to talking about cars and people. One day i picked up his Neighbors Pontiac grand prix, he was in his front yard.I drove over with the car on my rollback,next thing i knew he said he wouldn't mind having it.He told me to take it to the end of the street so his wife would not see it. It's amazing what us car guys do to keep our wife's from finding out about all of our stuff we acquire,not just cars. Dave was a very nice man and will be missed by everyone who knew him. Sorry for your loss. Kevin Scott. Newport news.
