Dave was a great guy to be with. Always had something funny to say. We hung around back in the 80´s at the Pequod where he worked. He would always invite me to his house at Lake Dale for a barbecue, and I am sorry that I never got there. Rest in peace my friend.

Our condolences to all of you. My 90 yr old father, Russell Smiddy, was David´s older cousin. They lived miles apart here and didn´t even know it.
Praying for all of you!
