My dear and long-time friends, Marijo & Bob Alms, just called from the road on their way to St. Louis from Atlanta. I didn't know David King but did meet him a few times through the Alms. I am so sorry to hear the news of his sudden death, and my heartfelt sympathy goes to you and the entire family.

Yesterday was a sad day after Bob Finley called to let me know about Dave. I always considered him a friend, working with him for many years at Glasco Electric.

Dear Bette,
We were so sorry to hear of David's illness and death. We were talking about him at Christmas. Our son James, asked if we had talked to his "godfather" lately. I told the kids about our visiting at the reunion.
Our prayers are with you during this horrible time.
Love, Jack & Jean
