I grew up with David and am so sorry to his family for this terrible loss. I remember well how when we were all kids, he and his beloved German Shepard named Sambo were inseparable. Sambo stayed with all of us kids every morning in the Hart's car port until we all got on the bus then Sambo would walk back home. Summertime and after school always included David as well as the rest of the kids in the neighborhood. He was a wonderful person and even defended me from a bully one time on the bus. I'll have fond memories of him and that time in our lives always. Sincerely, Kelly Davis
