I was a fellow employee of David´s at AAP, and a short period at CC. I worked with his mom at Moore´s. David was a sweet, caring, super intelligent, not to mention funny guy. I always thought very highly of him. I was very sad to hear he is no longer here with us. I know he will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Prayers going out for the family.

Our first day of volunteering at CRMH David was our mentor at the customer service desk, and we looked forward to working with him whenever we could. He was such a kind humble man! God bless you David!
