Memories and Condolences

My condolences go out to you all at this time of sorrow and loss.

I didn't know Mr. David, but House is a good friend of mine. Judging by his character, I can only imagine that his dad was a wonderful man!

I lost my daddy quite abruptly, as well. What a tremendous loss for your family - I'm so sorry that I wasn't able to express my sympathy in person.

Please know that you are in my thoughts.

Most Sincerely Yours,

Pamela Gregoire

Mrs. Cathy, my sister Deirdre, my husband PeeWee, and I have worked with David off and on for almost 20 years. As a timekeeper with Turner for over 17 years now I have worked with many great managers but I can honestly say that he was one of the most experienced, knowledgable, and sharpest people I have ever come accross. Although he drove us crazy regularly which was one of the things he loved to do he will be truly and deeply missed by our Turner team at Norco. He was liked and extremely respected by both workers and client alike. We are so very sorry for you and your family's loss and our prayers are with you. Pamela (Tullos) & Wesley (PeeWee) Gregoire & Deirdre Tullos

Dear Brother,
As everything happened so fast and I could not get out of California fast enough to say goodbye in person this venue will have to do. I know our lives had drifted in different directions over the years but it was always a comfort knowing that if I truly needed something you would be there for me. It is a very unsettling feeling knowing I do not have that anymore. But I do have all of the memories of growing up with you that I can keep forever. The world has truly lost a very good and kind man. Goodbye dear brother and may your soul rest in peace forever. Also give Mom a hug for me and tell her I think of her everyday.
Love Mike

Kathy,
My deepest condolences on your loss. I am sincerely sorry I could not be there today but my thoughts and prayers were with you all day.

I remember David from LOHS, great personality, wonderful smile. Though I wasn't fortunate to have seen him in years I am sure that he could not have changed and was still that same great guy. So sorry to hear of David's passing, my prayers are with his family at this time.

To the Family of David
Please accept my condolences for your loss. David was and still is a GREAT individual. It was both a Pleasure and Honor to work with David here in Norco.
Psalms23
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

To a very good man. I'm sorry for the family's loss. David helped me out alot when I was younger. I will miss him.

A lot of fond memories go way back; David taught me how to play basketball; we use to wrestle, play baseball, football, kick the can. Then there was the time we were going to camp in the field, where the cows were. A couple of the calves had wondered into the tent, and David and Mike thought it would be funny to scare them out. Well it scared the poop clean out of them all right, in the tent, and they tore the tent up getting out of it.
Many a day we either went hunting for squirrels or went to Pendarvis' pond to fish. One time we even sneaked off to the Amite river and went skinny dippin. Growing up was a lot of fun and David was a lot of fun. We will miss you David. Your Brother, Bradley
