I am so beyond sad to hear of David . I was honored to know him. David was the type of person that would help you at the drop of a hat. I took the basic and intermediate EMT classes under him and pam. He was a great teacher and made the class interesting and fun. I also remember him at the racetrack helping out several guys. he was alot of fun to be around. He knew his business and was one of the hardest working people i have been around. My condolences go out to the family. I know he will be missed dearly

I am so very saddened to hear of David´s passing. My heartfelt condolences to his family. He was such an honest and generous man. He once pulled me out of icy parking space on Main Street. Years later he and Pam helped me pick out trees for my new home in Roff. His family was the type I loved doing business with. Heavens a better place today with this man claimed his wings
