David Jr and my son have been close friends since middle school. It was through the sons that I first met David Sr. I could tell how much he loved his family and he will be truly missed as a father, grandfather and friend. My heart goes out to the Shuman family in this time of sorrow. My God bless you David and Rest In Peace.
