Sad to hear David has passed away. I worked closely with him for many years at Milliken Chemical. He was always willing to teach me the safety protocols at the plant. He was also a good person to talk to when you needed someone to talk to. In the coming days, I pray God watches over his family and friends and brings them comfort.

I was very sorry to hear about David. He and I worked together at Milliken a number of years ago. He was a great man who loved his family and was a great friend to everyone that worked with him. He will be missed.
