I am sad to hear about David's passing away. I have known him and his family all my life. His brother Carl worked for my dad, so I was around them when just a kid. Later in life, David was always around and helped with Joe Matt on different things they did for me. David was always fun and positive to be around. It has not been to long ago I saw him at Dale Wrights and we had a good laugh as always. Again, I am sorry for your loss.
dave was one of the best people ive ever knew and i will always love and remember him
David was a very special person. One of the nicest people we have known. We'll miss him very much, but know God has a special place in heaven for him. We'll especially miss his smile and sense of humor.
