Please accept my deepest sympathy....We were related "shirttail cousins". He was a "born drummer". Marched in many, many parades with him and we won multiple state competitions.
I played cornet and French horn.....He and Gary Link and Dan (can't remember his last name) were a group to be remembered....now they are all gone.....Will remember you in my prayers

I was one of David's classmates. His love of life and music were obvious from the first day the "lake kids" merged with our class. Band became the most important activity for many of us, David included. Condolences to you and your family on your loss.
