My deepest Sympathies, Thoughts, and Prayers to all of his family. David was a friend of mine since 1972. I shall miss him greatly as we met on the Citizens Ban Radio. We enjoyed many hours friendship and happiness in our young lives and beyond. I shall miss "UFO" tremendously. He was a great ole boy and friend. My love to his family and friends. Words of course can't express the comfort, and love I feel and do not show the admiration one holds for all that knew David, David is 10/07
