To David's family and his brother Steve. My Dad Merle Larsen was a first cousin to David's Mother Erma. We used to go to Council Bluffs and vist Ual and Erma so I saw them all pretty often growing up as a kid. My parents are both deceased as well as Ual and Erma. My brother Larry and I are really sorry for your loss. We went to a lot of wrestling matches with David's and Steve's grandfather Walt. I found out about David's death from my first cousin Diane Hurt who lives in Omaha. She is also a cousin to David and Steve. Take Care. Losing a parent is sad. God be with you. Sincerely, Linda (Larsen) Hoffman
