My Best Friend and Brother for over 50 years. We shared many great times and stories together. I will miss him greatly and carry him forever in my heart.
The years have passed very quickly, but I remember lots of good times with Violet, Ruth and David when they lived just across the street from me. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.
My heartfelt sympathy is extended to the family and friends of David.
I have lots of happy memories of growing up in Spring Hill with Ruth and David. So sorry to hear of his death. Please accept my sincere condolences.

So sorry to see you go so soon my brother. I will never forget the times that you and me and Rick had together during and after high school. My thoughts and prayers go out to your friends that will miss you very much. I wish I could attend the service on Saturday, but I have been fighting lung cancer for over a year and a half and am really too weak to make the trip. May God our Father in Heaven fill the hearts of those left behind with His peace and love.
