I was so sorry to hear of your loss. I was able to work with David for many years at Con-way Freight, and I have never worked with a harder working man. He was always early to work and always able to complete any route we gave him, sometimes knowing it wasn't possible to get it done, but somehow he did it. I sure hope he was able to to enjoy some of his retirement with his family. Please remember David will always be with you in spirit and looking down over you in heaven to keep you safe. I have no doubt about that. With deepest sympathy.

My heart is broken at the loss of this wonderful man. My deepest condolences to Darlene and the rest of the family. I wish I had the words to express the loss of my friend but I don't.
