Dear Family,
I went to Reynolds High School with David and Linda and always liked them both a lot. Although I wasn’t really close to David over the years, I kind of kept in touch through mutual friends.
I heard about David from Ed Gibson.
I send my condolences and wish all the family the very best.
Regards.

There has never been anyone I considered more of a friend than I did David. His friendship has been very important to me over the years. I will miss him dearly – but look forward to seeing him again in Heaven. I can see him now visiting with Cammy and his father in Heaven. Sorry for your loss. David
Dave was the mayor of Main Street- the neighborhood will never be the same.

You were part of the
office ‘family’ for a long time. David’s death seemed to hit close to home. God bless you and Suzan and give you strength.
