It was my pleasure and privilege to work with David during our Neighborcare days. I shall always remember his kindness and his gentle soul. He and Monica opened their home to me insisting that I stay overnight, it was with this loving couple that I learned the meaning of "southern hospitality"!
I know that the Lord welcomed David into his arms as well. To the family, I pray for your peace and comfort in the days and weeks ahead. God Bless

I got the pleasure of working with David at Medisave and Neighborcare. Monica and Ashley I worked with as well. Im sorry for your loss and you will be in my prayers.

I did not know David extremely well, although we worked together for several years. The handful of times we worked closely, he was always a very kind and gentle soul. It was apparent that he was also a very passionate and dedicated man, as it showed in his work. I can only imagine that same level of passion spilled over into his personal life. There will be many that miss him dearly. To his family, my prayers are for your strength and continued healing during this seemingly impossible time. May His spirit carry you through.

He was always kind in comments, considerate in his actions and truly a pleasure to be around. David---may God bless you and receive you into his loving arms---'cause we will all miss you here.

David and I worked together for over 20 years and I enjoyed every minute of it. Even though we would not talk for long stretches, when we did, we took right up where we had left off. What a wonderful friend that I will miss deeply.
