Dear Leann, for some reason I had this strong feeling today to google your name and hear I find that your husband has passed away. I am so sorry for your loss. I spoke to you briefly when our father passed away some years ago when I was living in Allentown, Pa. I am your half sister Michele D. Hutton. I moved to Florida in 1997. By reading David's obituary today, he was a great and loving husband, father, brother & son. I wish we all could of met some years ago, and got to know each other, but I guess it was not the right time. I hope that sometime in the near future we can meet in person. I would love to meet and get to know my sister and my nieces and nephew, and my 14 yr old son Joshua would love to meet his aunt Leann and cousins. If there is anything I can do please do not hesitate to call me (352) 266-8197, or email at : [email protected]. You can also find me on facebook. I would love to hear from you.

It is with great sadness to learn of David's passing. He was a very dedicated 4-H Development Board member, serving as our Treasurer. He was always very kind, considerate, and helpful in making the Lehigh County 4-H program successful. As an appointed member to our board, he served for 4-H for over 30 years! We are extremely grateful for his donation of time to our program, and will surely miss his pleasant influence. Sending our condolences to the family. Sincerely, Kelly Weisner, Lehigh County 4-H Coordinator and the 4-H Development Fund Board.

Dear LeAnn,
I was so shocked and saddened to learn of David's passing. He was a kind man who helped me in a time of need and I will always remember that. It's still a mystery to me how life can be so unfair to the least deserving people. You are a strong, capable lady and I know you will be the rock your kids need during this confusing time. Even though it may not seem like it now, the future still holds many wonderful things for you and your family. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers.

Another Good man gone too soon. You are all in my heart the pain you are going through now is still fresh in me after five years. Faith in God will get you through and the good memories will sustain you forever.
Peace
