David I was so lucky to have known you and work for you for over twenty years. We went to many dances and dinners at Chellos. You would go spend time with you Dad at his apartment. I remember anywhere we went people knew who you were and would stop to say hello. I loved that beautiful smile and how much you loved your independence! You
Will be in my heart forever! I hope I served you well!

Losing someone that we love never comes easy. It is truly heartbreaking. May God's promises in Isaiah 65:17 comfort and help you.

One of my greatest memories of my Sweet Uncle David is when we were very young & I liked to follow Uncle David around. So, whenever he would go to the store, I would try to follow him & he would send me back to the house, of course I would run & tell Grand Mommy Bessie☺ & she would say, you better take that baby! Being that spoiled brat that I was, I would tease him all the way to the store, na na na na na Grand Mommy made you take me Uncle David would be so mad at me. I asked him when we were grown did he remember, he said he did & that he was really mad at me back then, but he Loved me!! SEE YOU LATER UNCLE DAVID

He was a wonderful person. Strong and self assured. He loved life and a good belly laugh. His dad was so important to him. We had so many good times going through the sunday papers, getting coffee, and attempting to cook new things. He was always there for his friends. He spent many days making his friends mary feel safe and loved after she dealt with her own loss. He loved his neices, nephews, and his siblings. Spoke of them often with a smile. He will be missed.
