Dave, some of us on the Stage Crew had kind of tough upbringing. As a result I think we developed a special bond during our formative high school years. Although we have been separated for years by life's circumstances I've never forgotten that bond. Your passing is like losing a brother and I've thought about you all weekend. With great memories of a good friend and and a kind person may you rest in peace until we are together again in Glory. May God watch over your dear wife and family.

David has long been what we all would hope to become -- a thoroughly decent person.
And he has genuinely loved his life, most especially Cheryl as his key to joy in life.
And he's taken such pride in his sons and grandchildren.
