I was honored to meet David in August 2013 when he came to Atchison Kansas to adopt a dog from my shelter whom he named Barley. Through this adoption I met a man who felt love and wanted so badly to save Barley who no one else wanted. We kept in contact and talked after this adoption. I'm so very sorry for you loss :(
