Thinking of David today and the memories we shared. So happy that we all got to share all those memories last summer. So thankful that he had Liz for his wife. She was such a loving and caring wife. Also thankful for his loving children and Grandchildren. He was the best big brother. I loved him so much!

Liz, Lish, Bradley and family. I´ve been trying to find the words for David. What an incredible man. He was so kind, loving, and gentle man. He always had a kind word and a big smile on his face. I think my favorite thing is the way he loved and adored Liz. They had such a special relationship that I´ve always admired. David will be missed by so many and is loved by all. You all will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers

Lizbeth, you are in our hearts and prayers at this difficult time. We have so many wonderful memories of the two of you coming out to Wild Goose, not the least of which was the kindness and open generosity that David always brought to those gatherings. The love that you two so obviously shared was a blessing to all of us. Love, Edwin & Roye
