To the Watson Family, Eric Sr and I lived across the street from David on 28th Street for 15 years with our children growing up together to adult hood. He will forever be in our hearts and will be missed greatly. Our prayers go out to Catherine and the children.

Sincerely,
Marie and Eric C Sykes Sr

I had the pleasure of being a co-worker of David "T-Bone" for many years at Hall Contracting. He was a hard worker and such a nice and easy-going guy (and always a smile on his face). I am very, very sorry for his passing. To his family, please accept my deepest condolences. Ellen
