I was very sorry to read of David's passing.
My wife and I always remembered him sitting with us at our farm kitchen table selling white corn.
The good ol'days for sure.
We are sorry.

Dave's passing is very sad to me. He was a great Toastmaster friend and I learned so many things about public speaking from him. His humor and good will were so much a part of his being, as was his care for people and doing good things for mankind. He will be greatly missed, but as your hearts mend, I' m sure you'll find wonderful ways to keep Dave's memory alive forever. God bless you all.
