David was highly respected and deeply loved. Everyone at the office enjoyed his great sense of humor, he would often say "Do I have to do everything around here?" and we'd all laugh (knowing that he WAS the most efficient person in the office). He would often encourage those around him, give advice, bring donuts or just say something to make us chuckle. My sincerest condolences to all of his friends and family. He will be missed - and remembered always. Goodbye my friend.

David was such a sweet, funny caring person. He helped me though one of the most difficult times of my life when Ray died. He would call and we would talk long into the night. I loved him as one of my own and will miss him the rest of my life.
I am sending my love and prayers to all of DA Ray's family. You were so Blessed with this special son, brother, father and grandfather.

"He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds." Palms 147:3 I wish I had words to lighten your pain, but words are just not enough. Please accept my deepest sympathy on your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Thinking back to when we were kids, he had an amazing sense of humor and amazing way he looked at life. David grew up to be a great man. One of a kind.
